I would like everybodys insight and justification on this. how are you pro-life yet pro-death penalty? what is your reasoning that you are against abortion yet for the systematic punishment of putting people to death? is it because the baby has committed no crime? what if it was known it would grow up to kill? would you still be pro life? this could be a great and in depth discussion.

"Sometimes a rabid dog needs to be put down."
The Death Penalty is a tool in the criminal justice system. Sometimes a person has transitioned into Monster, and must be permanently removed from society whatever the cost. It is a tool that should be available, but used sparingly. That said, I don't know what governmental level can be trusted with this tool.
This tool is completely separate from the Pro-Life/Choice argument. They are not linked.

Ask yourself this: "Is killing always wrong?" (as opposed to Murder). If the answer is no, then it boils down to justification. It just becomes what is considered an acceptable justification.
If the answer is yes, I'd offer that person a chance to reconsider since our very existence is predicated on killing to survive.

I agree, I am pro-life, and I have no problem with states having a death penalty but saying that, they need to be very careful in applying it. 60 minutes had a piece on Texas's death penalty and the one gentleman on death row I did not think warrented the death penalty for his actions.

I am pro life, but with limitations...Rape, incest...up to 6 weeks..... or something physically wrong with the fetus...I believe it should be the woman's perogotive ...but the death penalty!
If someone goes out and kills someone on purpose...set out to do it with a plan...did it ON PURPOSE.....then YES! Absolutely without a doubt they should get the death penalty.
If they did it during a robbery and the gun went off accidentally....then NO...they should be judged and sentenced.

Big difference is the baby is in no way culpable for being aborted. That act of conception was the result of actions beyond its control. Death penalty is applied to individuals that for what ever reason disregarded social norms and deviated from them in such extreme ways redemption and or successful re-acclimation into society seems rather unlikely. You could call it social engineering or possibly genetic weeding as to keep the rest of society safe from picking up such traits.
