Let's have a chat about being "Pro-life"
No no, I'm not just posting another abortion thread. Let's talk about consistency about being "pro-life"
Being pro-life means every person, fetus or otherwise, has an equal right to live out their life, correct?
Then how come so many pro-life people [namely conservatives] are in support of the death penalty? The death penalty serves no purpose but to end someone's life. That flies directly in the face of being pro-life.
Similarly, if you're pro-life, you should support some sort of universal healthcare system. Every person deserves access to proper healthcare and it shouldn't depend on whether or not they can afford it. Not doing so also contracts the values of being pro-life.
So, pro-lifers - either accept these other values into your worldview, or admit that you're just pro-fetus.

Once you have killed an innocent person, you have lost all of your rights as a citizen. However, it is my personal opinion that the death penalty should be executed (no pun intended) on the defendant if he or she is convicted of 3 1st or 2nd degree murders. 1 murder is not enough to justify killing someone. However, if a person goes as far as to kill 3 consecutive people and take away their life, they should not be allowed to live anymore. They have taken the lives of other innocent people, so why should they still have their right to live? How can you know that they will stop at 3? "The death penalty serves no purpose but to end someone's life." Well, why should you be allowed to live if you willfully committed an act of murder? A fetus has not done anything to deserve death, so it should be allowed to live. I want to hear what someone says to this. According to non-death penalty advocates, Osama bin Laden should not have been killed, even after he killed an estimated 10,000+ Americans (not including other countries mind you). According to you, Hitler did not deserve to be killed even after he massacred millions upon millions of Jews, homosexuals, disabled etc. You honestly believe that someone like him should not deserve the death penalty? That's freaking absurd.
