Is it true that Liberals are against the death penalty for murderers, but they are all for killing babies?

What's up with that?

Actually, it is only hypocritical if you are pro-life and pro-death penalty, NOT the other way around.

Here is why:

Because the abortion issue generally comes down to where one BELIEVES that life begins, pro-choicers do not believe that abortion involves killing (whether you think that notion is correct is a separate matter). However, most pro-life/pro-death penalty people believe that abortion involves killing an innocent person, while the death penalty is reserved only for people who “deserve it.”

The notion of whether anyone “deserves” to be killed is one worthy of debate, but for the sake of argument, let’s say that some do deserve it.

The hypocrisy comes into play when you introduce the very real and ongoing problem of wrongful convictions. In the last 35 years in the U.S., 130 people have been released from death row because they were exonerated by DNA evidence. These are ALL people who were found guilty “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Unfortunately, DNA evidence is not available in most homicide cases.

So, as long as the death penalty is in place, you are pretty much GUARANTEED to occasionally execute an innocent person.

Therefore, if you say you are against killing innocent human beings, you must necessarily be against the death penalty, or else you are a hypocrite.

is it true that conservatives are against abortion but do not support contraception or adoption, and most are pro war?

YES. Libs see nothing wrong with abortion-( murdering babies who have done no wrong ) but say it is wrong to execute murderers. This is just one example of libs having no morals.

Death penalty- Civilized people should punish the murderers, but not stoop to their level.

Abortion- The embryo is a living human being. Abortion is wrong, and should be avoided by either contraception/sterilization.

Sadly enough, some yes. I'm totally perplexed on the second part of your question.
