interesting.

so could you make the argument that abortion is taking an innocent life? And the death penalty is a punishment for someone taking the lives of others?


It seems most conservatives/evangelicals are against abortion and for the death penalty.
But perhaps I am missing something? please enlighten me.

thank you!

You could make that argument. I can't.

Humans are destroying the planet. They are innocent of nothing. They are the planet’s serial killers.

Why is it killing if the egg is human but an omelette if it’s a chicken?

So you just justified feticide with misanthropy.

That's just sick. I'm surprised anyone on this board takes you seriously at all. Maybe they're all sick in the mind too though.

ok. so what's wrong with the death penalty then?

If humans were a) infallible and b) weren’t racist in their application of the death penalty once we tackle those huge issues then let’s discuss.


If you’re going to kill someone can’t you at least murder the right fucking person?

And please the color of the person shouldn’t matter.
The death penalty may be on the decline, but it’s still really racist

Every now and then I take your crazy ass off ignore and presto the usual malakos bullshit. Wasting breath and keystrokes on you I gave up long ago. If life isn’t a Europid you’ve shown zero concern.

Couldn't you argue that one isn't really able to live without the mother, but the other is?

There actually is a "depends on which race it is" position when it comes to abortion; note the position I have taken has never been that one, but rather always a broadly anti-abortion stance.

Also note that so far this year, out of several hundred posts I've made, only one of them (from what I could see) was at all particularly racially concerned one way or another (all others being general remarks). And that one post was about dating preferences.

Your suggestion that I'm overwhelmingly focused on my race is apparently quite mistaken.

It seems most liberals support abortion... yet are against the death penalty. Isn't that a contradiction?

an unborn baby is ok to be killed, yet a serial killer is not?

But perhaps I am missing something? please enlighten me.

thank you!
Yes, you are missing quite a bit.

I am pro choice and against the death penalty. I'm going to try and explain my reasoning for this and hopefully you will get where I'm coming from.

I am pro choice because I support the idea of bodily autonomy. I actually lean towards abortion being murder or close to it, but it is still her body and if you don't have control over your own body then you really don't have anything.

I am against the death penalty because the court system makes mistakes. There are numerous, well documented problems with the US justice system so I I don't think such a flawed system should have the ability to punish people in such an irreversible way.
