Pro-Choice has Nothing to do with Capital Punishment

[mondo joe]

The right to abortion is based on the right of PRIVACY and PERSONAL AUTONOMY over one's own body. A woman has the right to have a fetus removed from her body.

Capital punishment is the execution of a citizen by the authority of the state.

You may oppose or support capital punishment, but it has NOTHING to do with the principles that support the right to abortion.

1. i see no conflict in being pro-choice and against the death penalty

I think the suggestion that there is some obvious inherent conflict is absurd.

4. ...nah. It's just a holiday weekend.

As such, moderation tends to be a tad, "loose." I don't think there's as many around times like this. Who knew that Sadaam would be executed the weekend of New Years Eve? :shrug:

Some seem to be taking advantage of that fact by creating purposely inflammatory posts. :hi:

6. In the Catholic Church

some(Conservatives) stress "Life Issues over the entire Continuum
of the human life span. Pro Life Cradle to grave. This mean Pro-life
on Abortion Issue, Unless a war can be morally justified, Anti-War is
the being for life . Anti Euthanasia is being for life. Anti-Capital
Punishment is being for life and position of church.

Conservative(Many)Catholics were gung ho for Iraq War whild
the Vatican was tryign to explain it was Morally Unjustified.
These same person would be the Absolutist on Abortion.

Hope this helps

7. Thank you.

I didn't want to tread in the other viewpoint that it was in some magically mysterious way connected.
To equate the two...you might as well take a shit and sell it as applesauce--because the two of those are as similar as pro-choice and the death penalty.
I figured it was just a freeperish way to turn our words around on us.
For years, we have said that being anti-abortion was NOT pro-life because if someone was REALLY pro-life...not only would they oppose the war, they would oppose capital punishment.
