Really? #hell?

Abortion and the death penalty are not two sides of the same coin - moving on to a more useful post...

I can see how it seems illogical. I think both abortions & the death penalty are morally wrong, but still think abortions should be legal and the death penalty illegal.

I don't play in generalities.
Each individual event has its own conditions, rational, and results.

Abortion
Making such a decision is the choice of those involved.
For Abortion, it is a personal choice between the woman (and sometimes with their partner).

Capital Punishment
For Capital punishment, it has totally different factors and the decision is the "state" or "the people" against an individual. It usually involves actions or agreed upon charges against the actions of the individual involved. It is the will of the people against an individual, one which results in their death.

Both involve choices, cause and effect and until I'm in that situation I won't arm chair judge others actions. I will however fight to allow them to make that decision. Because, yes maybe I too might need the option to make it myself.

One's voice can not speak for another
Forcing your views on others somehow implied your opinion is more important. That your point of view is "right" while the billions of other opinions are not. That says more about you than the topic at hand.

Unless you are willing to take in someone's child. To raise, feed, and cloth her. I don't want to hear about how it is murder before they had a life. Because just letting a child be born that won't be loved and won't be cared for is just prolonging the murder of their true "self" through hunger, neglect, and exposing them to a hell. One that very well may result in that twisted soul being "put down" by capital punishment for wrong doing. And what about all of the other families, children, and communities affected by their actions?

This "issue" predominantly impacts the poor. Whom have very little resources. Where the environment is full of crime, rape, and misery.

I would whole heartily support strong restrictions on abortion if it also included free birth control and condoms for everyone.

These are complex issues with many shades of gray and the likelihood of inflaming people's emotions is high.. For instance, I don't want to see children hurt but I fully support a woman's right to choose if she wants to terminate a pregnancy. Some would see that as mutually exclusive but I differentiate a fetus from a child -- something pro-lifers don't do. One also needs to take the circumstances of the pregnancy into account as well. No woman should be compelled to carry a baby to term that was the result of incest or rape...or both.

The death penalty is much simpler, at least for me. Serial killers, malignant narcissists, socio/psychopaths -- these are agents of chaos and evil who can't be rehabilitated and contribute nothing but misery to this world. They're mistakes of nature, even the non-violent ones. Trump is a perfect example of the destruction a non-violent sociopath can create. These people are a cancer. So far as the violent ones go, kill em' all.

Kill 'em all, the gene pool is corrupt. Happy now?

Why hashtag hell? Doubting your sincerity. Doubting your genuineness.

Maybe the death penalty for people who continue to be a serious danger while in prison.

But maybe that should be quietly taken care of, rather than officially.

Like that "Wild Bill" character in The Green Mile. Or worse that sadistic guard.

I can see why you may think there's a superficial contradiction, but as soon as you start to seriously think about thse issues, you realise that that's simplistic.

I agree. It makes no sense. Killing is killing.
Abortion for convenience is murder.

I agree that you can't be considered 'pro life' if you oppose abortion and don't support all the legislation that supports that child after birth. That means making sure that those children are fed, clothed, educated, and kept safe. I'd even go one step farther and say that those who say 'just give it up' had better have adopted themselves.
As to the death penalty, I oppose it and I am strongly pro choice. The system supporting the death penalty is as broken as the rest of the government. There is also the problem that after an execution if you get evidence that shows the convicted was not guilty, you can't just say 'oooops'. And that happens with depressing frequency. I actually think that a life in prison is worse punishment than death, anyway. So I'd rather see them have to spend the time in prison.

Its a women thing which will tell you a lot about the individual. This individual will never fully explain her reasons as rthey are as varied as the individual in question. Murder is a thought out vicious act of violence against a specific individual for various reasons most of which are brought out in a trial which again is a varied group of individuals. If you have money this process can be swayed, varied, manipulated on your behalf. If you are not a person of means then you are to be made an example of for the rest of the world to believe that there is a just justice system You have only to look at the present judicial system and the persons who control and manipulate it to continue this argument. Abortions will always be one persons deciision to carry for the rest of their lives and no one elses. A Vicious Criminal who commits a henious malicious crime not only cost one or more person their lives, but scarred and distorted many others forever.

I'm pro abortion in the sense of being pro choice but not in the make believe sense. What I mean here is this. Abortion is not birth control and nobody is allowing a child to be born while a doctor and mother decide whether or not to kill it. Just not happening. This is all talking points of the right. Women should have control of their own bodies.

Am I in favor of the death penalty? Let's put it this way. If the person really did the crime in which it was decided to put them to death and the evidence is plain and outstanding, it would be safe to say that this killer is not going to kill again if they forfeit their life. Why should we house and feed them forever? You cannot rehabilitate people who commit murder.
