I’m against the death penalty. What he said was needlessly provocative.
And yet, what he said has provoked some intriguing consideration of just how off base the comment (stand alone and out of context) might have been?
I would initially agree with you. But a poster did make a logical point in pointing out; If you believe abortion is the intentional killing of a human life, then that is murder. If you also support capital punishment for premeditaded murder, then you might be expected to support the execution of the mother who seeks out the abortion.
Mind you, I am not suggesting I support what was said. But I am pointing out that, as proof on this thread, the comment was not "needlessly provocative".
