I have no problem with capital punishment as long as it is done for very serious offenses (serial killers or something) where they have admitted to the crime.
a) Plenty of Mexicans come north illegally each year so Iām guessing you have no standing for the position youāve taken.
b) Iāve made no deflection. Iāve stated that rhe pro-liferās stance ought to be the well-being of immigrants fleeing poverty and danger should take precedence over Americans already here. If it does not, the pro-liferās value-decision-making process is inconsistent.
I for one will never support abortion unless the Motherās life is at risk, the woman was raped, or in the case of incest! It is NOT a form of birth control and there is absolutely NO reason to turn it into ābirth controlā issue! Just because a baby can not function on itās own it is NOT a parasite! A child, can not function in this world on itās own so would you be OK with a 8 year old being āabortedā? When will it ever stop once it is literally OKād for right after birth?
First, āright up to birthā is more or less nonexistent.
Second, Iām against capital punishment for a number of reasons:
the possibility the state has it wrong
the cost is a great deal higher
it isnāt comparable to abortion in that keeping the prisoner alive doesnāt violate someone elseās autonomy and self-determination over their own body.
However, Iād be open to capital punishment given:
Particularly heinous crimes
A burden of proof standard greater than āBeyond a reasonable doubtā is established for these cases. There can be no doubt.
Observation and evaluation if I have time. If theyāre breaking say into my bedroom itās going to be a very short evaluation process before I shoot.
The state to a large extent determines what any of us can do with our bodies legally.
Every woman who isnāt raped has had the opportunity to exercise control prior to getting pregnant.
Once you create a new human life itās not just āher bodyā thatās involved anymore and at that point we as a society get to determine when abortion is or isnāt legal.
