Can you oppose the death penalty yet support abortion, or vice versa?

[888theGreat]

Here are your choices :

For Death Penalty , against Abortion ( which is most Republicans)

For Abortion , against death penalty (which is most Democrats)

Against Abortion and Death Penalty (which is most real Christians , not pretend Christians)

For Abortion and for death penalty (which is mostly population controlists )

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Death is only decided by one being and that is God. Those who quote Eye for an Eye don't know the bible and are fake believers. We should not use Abortion for convience or death penalty for revenge or kill dogs and cats because we are greedy with money. Not to mention how more expensive death penalty is than just keeping people in prison. You should value Life first.

I am against Abortion but for Death Penalty

I am for death Penalty but Against Abortion

I am for both Abortions and Death Penalty

I am against both Abortions and Death Penalty because I am a real Christian

[Kelley1]

Yes, we can, because they are two different things. One you made; the other you did not. If you carve a piece of firewood into the shape of an infant. You made it, and you own it. If you want to toss it into the fireplace, you can, because you made it and you own. Abortion is the same: before the fetus is born and others invest, you made it, and you own it. If you choose to terminate it, that is your right because you made it and you own it.

Moreover, there is another logical reason you have the right to abort it. If you find an injured person, you are morally obligated to give first aid, call an ambulance, or take the person to the hospital. However, you are not obligated to further support the person with a substantial portion of your health, time, and money. The same applies to abortion. If it were possible to go to the hospital and pay a hundred dollars to have it removed, like giving first aid, you may be morally obligated to do so. However, you are not obligated to sacrifice your health, your looks, your comfort, your time, and your money for the fetus.

[888theGreat]

both taking life

[Kelley1]

So what? She doesn't have to sacrifice her life for another.

[NoDecision]

I don't think Christians are against the death penalty if someone deserves it.

[888theGreat]

Then they are not Christians. Bible states it clearly

[Cidknee]

Gad said follow the law of the land. A murderer is not one to spare Capitol punishment on.

[888theGreat]

@Cidknee Well it is group murder when you do.

[Cidknee]

Execution is not murder. But I leave you with your opinion.

[888theGreat]

@Cidknee are you killing a person? Yes. OK could he defend himself? No, ok It is murder by committee. I can hear GOD calling Cidknee , come forward, why did you agree to kill another? God says, Thou shalt not kill. There are no side laws. He doesn't say it is ok by committee. Or if the sky is gray it is ok.

[NoDecision]

I don't know if you remember, but God commanded the Israelites to kill a lot of different people, even the children and women. But those people were pretty wicked. So capital punishment is not anti-biblical. An eye for an eye sort of law.

[888theGreat]

Your wrong, but that was God commanding something. God is allowed to not follow commandments. The Commandments are for us. By the way Saul didn't do what he was told. Also war is different , that is self defense.

[goaded]

A & B are the same in the poll! Voted B, because of the text.

Against death penalty, not against abortion. (I wouldn't say I was for abortion, but women should have the choice within reason.

Early abortions (the vast majority) are before there's any person there, just the potential for one. Late abortions are almost always an end of life decision by the unquestionable next of kin due to a serious problem with the pregnancy.

Neither should be legislated against; keep your "morals" to yourselves, not everybody shares the same opinions.

[msc545]

I'm against both abortion and the death penalty and I'm not a Republican. This is continuously confusing to many of my friends, both Democratic and Republican. I get a lot of questions about it.

[msc545]

I'm completely against killing people whether they are an unborn child or a criminal.

[msc545]

Thanks for M. H. O.

[Lliam]

I support the right of women to choose to abort up to3 months into. pregnancy without restriction. After that, there should be a good reason like an abnormal fetus or threat to the mother's health.

I am generally opposed to the death penalty because cops lie, prosecutors can be ass holes, and courts can be unfair. That being said, in cases where the evidence is undeniable, some people deserve to die.

[Snakeyes7]

How hilarious that you think it is not Christ like to support the death penalty because God disagrees:

Genesis 9:6 “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed,
for God made man in his own image"

Luke 17:2 "It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin."

[888theGreat]

New Testament replaced old Testament

[Snakeyes7]

It's still the same God.

[Sevenpointfive]

i am open to abortion and the death penalty based on each individual case.

[exitseven]

Some people deserve the death penalty. Little babies never did anything to anyone so why do they have to be put to death?

[Cidknee]

I've always been against abortion and using the death penalty is a large deterant. Only God knows how many lives that has saved.

[888theGreat]

never has yet. Murders have gotten worse

[Cidknee]

That's something you can't know. I'm certain it's deterred at least one. So that makes it worth it and right.

[888theGreat]

Have there been more murders since first person was executed? Not much of a detergent.

[Cidknee]

Still, you cannot know how many would have occurred without the execution. Don't you understand this?

[FreyaRed]

I support abortions and death penalty, Unfortunately in my country both don't eixist

[lightbulb27]

humans are wacky and inconsistent... so yea.

[Likes2drive]

You can be against both and doesn’t matter what your political views are

[Anonymous]

Anti abortion, pro death penalty

[888theGreat]

So you are not a Christian? Just a Republican?

[Opinion Owner]

I am neither of those

[Opinion Owner]

Neither politics nor religion dictate my views. I am against killing an innocent fetus. I am for killing vile criminals who are not innocent.

[MrChinaski]

err... options 1 and 2 are the same.

[Twalli]

The first two are the same

[goaded]

It was meant to be (from the text):
A. For Death Penalty , against Abortion ( which is most Republicans)

B. For Abortion , against death penalty (which is most Democrats)

[Twalli]

@goaded I disagree with the ways in which the death penalty is applied, as well as prisons, but if the person can't be rehabilitated, then death is probably the best recourse.

[fishbone77]

Of course you can.
