You are against abortion and pro-choice too. Many would call that being confused.

G-d also requires that men establish systems of justice. And in those systems there must be ways of dealing with crimes so terrible and so well-proved that capital punishment is proper and necessary.

What does well-proved mean? Beyond the shadow of a doubt. More than just beyond reasonable doubt in these days where people are as light-headed as you -- but beyond any whisper of doubt to invoke capital punishment.

Yet Terri was slaughtered on mere hearsay, and not just hearsay but old and dubious hearsay, hearsay that was countered by other hearsay of a less dubious quality.

So you oppose the death penalty! But a court ordered execution based on dubious hearsay is just fine with you.

Against abortion and pro-choice. Against capital punishment for murderers, but for court orders to execute the innocent.

I hope you do not drive or operate heavy machinery -- you should really not leave your room without competent escort. JMO.
