I despise the term "pro-life" almost as much as "pro-choice".
Back in the days before Roe v. Wade, HONEST PEOPLE had no qualms about calling themselves pro-abortion or anti-abortion.
I am anti-abortion. I am pro-death-penalty. I don't care what it costs society to raise babies instead of killing them, anymore than I care how much it costs to execute those for whom death is the only appropriate punishment.
Some things are absolutely worth the money.
“I despise the term "pro-life" almost as much as "pro-choice".”
I’m anti-abortion, but I struggle with the issue of the death penalty. I just don’t know how to approach the issue from a philosophical stand point. I’m want to be pro-life (meaning innocent and guilty), but I have feeling like most, that some of these criminals deserve to die. I just don’t think it the government’s duty to kill its prisoners.
I posted this topic with the hopes of creating a discussion to help me justify my pro-life position, and I’m pleased and impressed with the people who joined the discussion. Thank you.
