Re: SGG's What's Your Issue Poll
Not to change the subject, but I will argue in favor of capital punishment. In that case, humans are killing someone (a criminal) who made a conscious choice to rob another person of their rights to live. I support capital punishment for anyone who committs murder intentionally, that's the only crime. It's just. The criminal made a conscious choice to take away another person's freedom to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. He deserves his fate, there's no moral conundrum there.
With abortion, we're robbing that baby of the freedom to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness before that person is even able to exercise one choice. As humans, we have an obligation to protect life. If someone chooses to consciously and knowingly take away someone else's freedom to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, then they have thereby waived their right to the very same. They deserve their fate.
