Pro life as theres little ambiguity with this subject but totally anti death penalty. I do think there are acts which deserve the death sentence but we would have to have a perfect judiciary in place for me to support its return and this is impossible.
pro life for an unborn baby is not comparable to death for some scumbag murderer
Simply because many pro-lifers are of the mind that "life is sacred". As such it is hard to reconcile that with capital punishment. Not impossible - but there is an ideological incongruence of sorts.

i dont subscribe to the life is sacred stuff. i just dont think its right to kill a child. it doesnt have a choice.
death penalty is a different matter. some murderer has chosen to kill people. he/she is responsible for their actions.
Its not an oxymoron - but there is a touch of irony.
Yes alright. My point was that can you really call yourself 'pro life' if you believe in the death penalty? Some say yes, some say no, I think the latter in order to attempt at being consistent.

Well if you take the term "pro-life" literally. Its really just a label for those who are anti abortion.

Well that's what people think but it's not the case in reality.
You can be pro-life if you against abortion unless it will result the death of the mother and that the foetus cannot be delivered alive (we can now use saesarian (sp) where mothers get killed in labour). Also against the death penalty on all circumstances. And with euthanasia, it should only be allowed where the concerned person is a bit like in a PVS. Although technically speaking you might have to be against it on all grounds too.
The thing with the usual pro-life argument is I don't hear much mention of suicide in general. Surely pro-lifers should be against suicide.
I'm pro choice (up to about 2 months after that its just sick), anti death penalty, it makes you almost as bad as the murderer, Make their life hell, sure, but don't kill them.
