So.... even though you think abortion is evil (as do I), its legality is justification for executing 7 year olds?

No, I do not think that the fact that abortion is legal makes it ok to execute a non-adult murderer. That was not my intended point. Laws should not be relative to each other. If they were, the changing of one law could nullify the law. What I am saying is that in some cases, for instance, such as this one, if it can be proven that he knew what he did, I say he should be put to death. Just my opinion. What difference does it make if he's 7 or 17? If the kid knows right from wrong, and violates that in such a manner, he should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
