I agree about abortion. As to the death penalty...if you take a life without prejudice or not in self defense, you have given up your rights to your own destiny.Liberal Because I Care said:I am pro-life, but make an exception for mothers whose lives are in danger for medical reasons, especially if they already have children at home to raise. I believe these incidents are extremely rare and therefore abortion would be extrememly rare.
I am also anti-death penalty and believe, for religious and societal reasons, that the death penalty does not solve problems but rather it worsens them.
Therefore, I guess you could say I do not support ending life, in any form, for the most part.

When did they claim that their opinion was fact?jallman said:Not in the eyes of the supreme court, my friend. :doh
You make a very good point. I'm against capital punishment, but at least an explanation is given for it's justification. What justification is offered for abortion?Iriemon said:We justify murder all the time. Capital punishment. Self-defense. 30,000 Iraqis because of WMDs that weren't there.

Gee at one time this could also be said of slavery. The fact is bad laws have been around and will always be a problem. It just takes time to remove them.jallman said:Not in the eyes of the supreme court, my friend. :doh
Why does this not apply to prostitution?jallman said:Abortion needs no justification beyond the womans right to her own bodily resources.

Technocratic_Utilitarian said:IF we are talking about real murder, and not the pretend-murder (abortion), then no, murder should not be made legal. It's consequences are far too negative to have it applicable as some type of rule, and even though there are certainly SOME ethical exceptions, it could never be tolerated en masse.
jallman said:Gee and slavery was overturned by a presidential act...that golly gosh darned emancipation proclomation, hayuck hayuck hayuck. The problem with slavery is the same problem with the pro-life stance...they both oppress valid citizens.
It's dishonest to imply that he was defending slavery. Anywho, this thread is for people who consider fetuses to be valid citizens. I have no problem with people believing that a fetus is part of the mother, even though I disagree.
Irrelevant to this conversation, but just for kicks...gee in the state of
nevada it does apply to prostitution.
mpg said:You missed the point of the thread. The question addresses only people who feel that abortion is murder, yet still think that it should be legal.
Overpopulated?!?!?GySgt said:"Should some murders be legal?"
Yes.
I propose that the planet has been overpopulated by the global left and need to be controlled.
