I'm not Pro-Life.  I'm Pro-Responsibility.

There is really a very simple line of logic that allows one to oppose 
abortion and support the death penalty, and it flows right along with 
what I've said in past posts about accepting the consequences of your 
actions.  It's not about the sanctity of life, but the sanctity of 
*personal responsibility*.

The scumbag who fries after murdering a family is suffering the 
consequences of his actions, as is the girl who has to adopt out or 
raise the illegitimate child she had because she was too negligent to 
use proper birth control or abstinence. 

Making another person (even an unborn one) take the fall for someone 
else's actions is one of the most cowardly, selfish, and outright mean 
things in the world.
