Why do you seem to think it is perfectly okay to murder those considered terrorists and those on death row, whereas abortion is wrong?
cultureshift:
I oppose the death penalty for the same reason I oppose abortion. Both represent the killing of defenseless human beings. Even though the person on death row is guilty of a heinous crime, they are caged and thus defenseless. Killing caged humans will never move us toward a culture of life and sends the message that killing defenseless humans is an acceptable way to solve problems, exactly what proponents of abortion advocate.
The only time killing a human being is justified is in self defense or in the defense of others. Notice the image of the Islamic terrorist below. He is killing a Christian child because their family would not disavow their religion. Notice that he is not caged and therefore continues to pose a threat to other human beings. He must either be captured or killed to protect the innocent.
This is a terrorist…
This is a death row inmate…
This is a preborn child…
Remember, not only are the preborn innocent, they are also caged.
To summarize…
- Killing innocent preborn humans is wrong.
- Killing caged humans is wrong.
- Killing uncaged terrorists is self defense.
