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.

The same argument could be applied to the other side. Why are liberals in favor of abortion but against the death penalty? Why was the Casey Anthony trial such a big deal and all over liberal news networks when killing an infant can be compared to getting an abortion which many of these networks are in favor of? Just something to think about. By the way, I hate both ideologies.
