Abortion: A 'right' that is wrong? (two theses for debate)

[mactbone]

Not adding to the discussion at all...

A group of pro-lifers were walking around campus with signs that had pics of aborted fetuses and all of their "catchy" slogans. Then, on the back they all said something like - You hate me without even knowing me - or whatever from John 5 something or other. I'm sitting on this fence with the issue but I thought they were pretty obnoxious, especially when they started yelling out at people.

I wanted to ask them their thoughts on the death penalty, since they seemed so hung up about death...

The death penalty has nothing to do with the issue. Anti-abortionists believe that abortion constitutes the murder of an innocent. The death penalty does not kill innocents, except by mistake (which no one favors).

I understand that, except that these pro-lifers seemed extremely adamant about the sanctity of life. I don't have anything wrong with most pro-lifers or pro-choicers, just the extremists.

The death penalty is also based on racism, but that is an entire new thread altogether.
