Yeah I think it would be a contradiction in thoughts and idea's. If you are pro-life for a fetus then it should be pro-life all the way. Death is Death no matter what. So you can't be one and not the other. |

Yes kill the guilty not the innocent |

Sure you can because pro-life is pertaining to innocent unborn babies
The death penalty is for those convicted of crimes.

no murder is murder. the bible doesn't say don't kill babies just people who made mistakes in life. too many people are trying to play god. |

Yes, It is, in a way, contradicting yourself, but it is up to you. It is your opinion and you can believe whatever you want. You could be a vegan and love eggs if you wanted; people will always tell you your beliefs are wrong if they go against theirs anyway!!!!! |

Some people are, since the unborn have not committed any crimes.
I have been waffling on the death penalty for several years.
The contradictions are among those who are pro-choice, pro-euthanasia and anti death penalty. |

A pro-life and pro-death penalty stance is based on the individual's rights. If you believe a fetus is a human being, then it has rights, such as the right to life. A person convicted of a crime has rights, but the idea is that they have done something that revokes their right to life. (Whether or not you believe anyone can do anything to give up their right to life, that's the argument.) A fetus has not. So yes, in this scenario, it's possible to hold both views without being hypocritical.
A pro-choice and anti-death penalty stance is along the same lines about individual rights. The idea is that no one can do anything, however horrid, that revokes their right to survival. To remain consistent, one could say that a fetus is not a human being until it's born, so it has no rights. So in this scenario, it's possible to hold both views without being hypocritical. |

Certainly,the punishment should fit the crime,as all religions have practised for the last 2008 years. |

I suppose it would be a contradiction if you were talking about an unborn child that had been convicted of murder. |
|

|
yeah that doesn't make sense. what if the baby kills its mom, then you would agree with killing it?
whatever just my opinion you think that way you're a hypocrite |

If you cannot see the difference between killing an Innocent baby and executing Timothy McVey you have a problem. |

oh, sure.. and NOT at all.
All you have to do, is what to punish those that have commited an awful crime -- like premeditated murder, etc. And be aware that the baby developing is a person at their very beginning. You embrace life. (That's not easy, when its an "oopsababy" -- but Pro Lifers want to make kids/people think before it happens... which leads people to the idea of "what about forcible rape, etc. if results in a pregnancy"...)
I think that's simple: one of them has to go.
You pick which one, to answer your own Question.

it's a contol issue |

you can. many pro-lifers i know believe a baby has the right to *be born*. that belief has nothing to do with the death penalty. i'm pro-choice myself. |

Yes life is a gift from God. The punishment of death is approved by God when someone violates His moral code. |

Too way different cases!! I think it's fine... an inncoent little baby who hasn't hurt any body or raped and murdered someone deserves life!! but a criminal, evil man/woman deserve capital punishment...
i think it's absolutely right...!!!
you are on the right page!! |
|

Yeah. Jesus didn't even complain about executing criminals. But murdering the innocent is a different ball of wax. |

Life is full of dualities, and people might have different reasons for supporting or not supporting one or the other. |
|

No you can't. The bible does not say" they shall not kill besides criminals".
|
|

|
they are both killing. so if you are against killing people then you can not be for death penalty and against pro life. however if you think that the innocent should live and the guilty should die then i guess you can...but killing is bad and i do not think that we have the right to take ssomeones life! |
|
PapiCulo
|
not a contradiction at all; both causes are against murder when you get right down to it. |
|
TIMOTHY H
 |
yes, one can be against killing innocent babies while FOR killing guilty murderers |
|
PJ
|
Sure you can. The death penalty is for people who have committed a heinous crime. They deserve to die.
Pro life (I'm not) believe the baby is innocent and abortion is killing that baby.
I guess they see it as different kinds of killing. |
|
I_Are_Smart
|
Yes. Pro-life is just means anti-abortion. Pro-death penalty regards the execution of criminals. I'm Pro-death penalty, but not Pro-life. I think women should have the right to decide what happens with their own body. |

I can see a difference between murderers, rapists, bank robbers, drug king pins and a fetus but, that's just me I guess. |
|

I'm pro-choice and pro-death penalty...
so I guess you can.... |
|
HMUSN
|
sure.
it's not the babies fault that he gets killed.
It IS however the rapist or murders fault if he gets killed. that is his punishment.
babies didn't deserve that punishment of being killed.

My Answer

That answer is entirely based on individual opinion.
You can value life and want to bring a perfectly harmless baby into the world while wanting to execute someone who has savagely killed many people in cold blood. Like an Abortion doctor. |

Yes you can, and yes I am. A person who has committed a crime that warrants the death penalty has taken their own life in to their hands, an innocent baby in the womb doesn't get such a choice. |
|
Icarus

Yes you can and there is no contradiction whatsoever. The issue at hand is one of guilt versus innocence. Unborn children are helpless and innocent and as such, we should protect them. Criminals convicted of capital crimes are guilty and should be held accountable. That is the difference; it really isn't hard to undestand but many refuse to see the logic. |
