| Quote: The only thing I ask is that you just be consistant with your beliefs. I know people who are against abortion but support the death penalty. You say that you value life, yet you pick and choose which type of life has value. I think that that is not right. If you don't believe in abortion, that is great but just be consistant and fight to the death to protect every law that applies. But you can't hop on top of the fence and play both sides, that is what creates the black and white areas in our grey world..  | What about people who are anti-death penalty but pro-abortion? There are plently of people out there who hold such views. I think it's rather too simplistic to ask everyone to be consistent in their views of both issues; although both essentially are about terminating a "life" in some way or another, there are massive differences regarding the reasoning behind it, whether a foetus is even regarded as a viable "life" etc. So I suppose all I'm saying is that blurring the lines between abortion and death penalty isn't really conducive to the debate. |
