Thats absurd, 'pro-life' means that you are 'anti-death'. If you argue anyway on this point, say you bet we are for the death penalty, which if anyone who is truly pro-life would be against. I am truely pro-life, but believe in a capital punishment of LIFE in prison. (Note: the dems are traditionally pro-choice, where as the they are also anti-death penalty.)

It should probably be named "pro-innocent-life" but that's too long. I am pro-life and in favor of the death penalty because I believe that is the best way to protect innocent victims from criminals. No criminal put to death has ever managed to repeat offend. On the other hand, history is full of examples of lifers who have escaped, or gotten paroled, etc and managed to murder/rape/rob again. My first priority is protecting innocent life.

Repeat offender aren't too numerous once they're sent for six. LOL you get it!

How can a democrat be against life for the innosent, and in favor of life for the guilty ?

I understand your POV, but have a problem with the government, ANY government, putting the needless death on my soul.

I do understand the need for a strong defense department, after all, isn't that the primary purpose of the federal government? And the taking of life in defense of oneself. That is why, due to the current state of affairs in the crimnal justice system (ie; revolving door prisons, etc.) I do-not pro-actively demonstrate or protest the death penalty.
But don't we have in the constitution the right against 'cruel and unusual punishment'?

I often struggle with this issue.
