Perhaps the reason some people are pro life and pro death penalty at the same time is the difference between one life never having been given a chance to succeed or fail and a life given the chance to succeed or fail but decided to fuck it all up and destroy many other lives in the process.
People are not perfect, judges, juries, prosecution and defense attorneys are not perfect - but those who put themselves in the position of being considered a suspect might not have been considered a suspect at all if they had kept their nose clean in the first place.
There are too many cases of mistaken identity where the innocent victim has spent years and even decades locked up behind bars enduring God knows what sort of unthinkable acts. Only to get a "Oops...we're sorry." from the guvment.
I smell more Far RW claptrap.
Funny.
You claim to see a conflict between supporting the death penalty and opposing abortion, yet you see no problem with your position that innocent people sometimes get put to death when we use the death penalty, yet you have no problem with killing children who are definitely innocent.
