Exactly so. I get so tired of our church droning on and on about how evil capital punishment is, while ignoring the much greater evil of abortion. Capital punishment these days kills at most 20 adults a year - adults who have lived a life, been convicted of some heinous crime, and usually have been in prison some 20 years appealing their conviction. Abortion kills over a million innocent babies a year, who have never even had a chance to live. No comparison whatsoever.
if God was against the death penalty why did Jesus pay it for is? there is a big difference between the slaughter of innocents and the justly carried out sentence of a legitimate government/court system
