You mean "opposing". Smiley

California is one of those states that sentences anyone they can get a hold on to death but rarely if ever executes, and thus has a gigantic death row population. Pennsylvania being the crassest case of that.

The unborn are undeniably living beings. People don't count.

Whatever you think, though, it's certainly inappropriate to consider NOT killing people disgusting. That's just a basic principle of decency. That indicates a lack of character and conscience (both of which are true about the poster in question).
Standards vary. I tend to think the gloating over the assassination of a political enemy inappropriate and disgusting and violating basic principles of decency, and most people here seem to feel the same way.
Neither our Chancellor nor virtually any American seems to agree, though.

Yes. That's the whole point of society. You can't just fire members.

It can be argued that a criminal who has taken away someone's rights has forfeited his own. I have read some on here argue this.
The hypocrisy is not in the position but in the term "pro-life" for "would like to see abortions illegal". Not that I particularly care or don't think there's worse terms out in today's politics, but that's what it is.

He didn't claim all murder victims' families have such feelings.

Good thing we believe that the value of human life should be determined by the polls.
Shouldn't values be determined by the markets?
