What do you think of people who are “pro-life� but support the death penalty?

I don't think we should take the term 'pro-life' literally. Their reasoning is probably that we shouldn't 'kill' humans without giving them a chance at life. Criminals wasted their chance already, so their mercy don't apply to them. I'm against pro-life supporters, but these are two separate issues.

I find pro lifers scary, the ones I've talked to have a weird desire of "punishing" the women who is pregnant by not giving her the choice of abortion since she "opened her legs" so now she has to "face the consequences", these are the ones I met, of course, but I really wonder how much they care for the fetus since the ones I've met use words like "punishment" and "consequences" to describe what, according to them, they are trying to protect.

I think people who are like that weigh innocence from each of the parties involved. The babies are innocent while the criminals who qualify for the death penalty (are believed to) have done some seriously heinous shit.

they are different situations. Babies are innocent and didn't get the chance at living a life outside of their mothers womb and the other did get a life and did some fucked up shit. Personally tho i am pro-life and not for the death penalty because i think death is taking the easy way out.

Different issues. One view is about what they see as protecting the innocent, the other is about punishing the guilty. Yes, in reality things are more complex than that, like one said before me, there’s a risk of punishing innocents with the death sentence, but fundamentally this is the justification they use, which agree or not, it’s perfectly logical argument.

 

I wonder more about pro-lifers who are pro-abortion in cases of rape. I really want someone to explain me them, they are the one faction in the debate I don’t understand. I’m genuinely asking, because I really don’t understand.
