Biggest contradiction - Pro-Capital Punishment and Pro-Life.

It always makes me laugh.

Anybody that says being pro-life and pro-capital punishment is contradictory needs to take a look in the mirror because that also means being pro-choice and anti-capital punishment is a contradiction.

Gloria Steinem explains that...

"There is a difference between a fetus that cannot survive on its own, and an autonomous human being. I find the pro-choice, anti-death penalty positions consistent because both support the value of the individual, and both oppose the state's power over the individual--whether to make decisions about our reproductive lives, or the length of our lives."

I do think that being a "right-to-lifer" and supporting capital punishment is contradictory because a right (unlike a priviledge) can't be lost and if a fetus has a 'right' to life, it can't be taken away under any circumstances.

BTW, I am definitely pro-choice and anti-death penalty.

I would take anything that woman says with a grain of salt.  Or maybe just a whole salt shaker.

Death is the easy way out. Death is like giving someone a new Birthday. I don't see how Death is even a punishment. If anything Death is a gift.

So I know what to get you for christmas I guess....
