This is the ultimate hot topic thread... Why do Democrats support the killing of fetuses (living, breathing human beings) and yet they always raise hell about executing the most bloodthirsty murderers???

Someone please explain this paradox before the crazies come swooping down and hijack this thread...

That doesn't explain why Democrats want to kill babies and at the same time stand in defense of the most bloodthirsty murderers...

Well I am a Catholic, and against abortion and against the death penalty.

I'd say most democrats are for abortion, and for the death penalty.

Most conservatives are against abortion, and for the death penalty.

Most liberals are for abortion, and against the death penalty.

It's like a graphing chart.

Killing fetuses is hugely beneficial to society, objectively speaking. You eliminate huge numbers of high-risk people from ever entering the population - people more likely to commit crimes and not be as productive and depend on social welfare.

Killing convicts, on the other hand, is of questionable deterrent value, ends up costing more than just locking them up for life, and costs so much money it would end up outweighing any existing deterrent value.

It's not a baby when it's 6 weeks old, sorry.

Then what is it? Looking at a picture of a 6 week old, I see very obvious features of a baby. A little strange looking I'll give you that, but a baby nonetheless. Give it another week and there is absolutely no guessing it's a baby!!

Here's week seven:


These images came from pregnancy.org, not a pro-life website!

As a democrat, I am pro-choice! I believe that every woman has a right to determine what happens to her own body without the government stepping in (something most Republicans should be for since you all like LESS government). I feel that it is a woman's choice and hers to live with. From conducting my own research on the issue, I can tell you that the heart is does not develop until week 9 so many clinics have started making that their personal cut-off. I do not believe, personally in abortion for myself, but then again I know several girls who have been in the situation and for them it was the best option.
I also think that people who are anti-abortion need to step up and become foster parents and adoptive parents. When young girls are forced into having these children that they do not want, many of these children go up for adoption and are never adopted and instead spend their lives in foster home after foster home. That is not a life worth living for many of these kids. So I would like to see more anti-abortion supporters step up to the plate and take on some of these kids!
