Simply because I said I found it interesting that most politicians who were pro-life were also pro-death penalty.
Can I explain this? If you want to delete this off your comments after you read it, go right ahead, though. I am pro-life and pro-capital punishment. I don't hold all life on the same level. An unborn child is innocent and I see it as a person. I think that it does not deserve to be killed because the mother did something stupid. (I'd be interested in the statistics about rape/incest/abuse abortions vs. birth control abortions; I haven't been able to find them on the web.) So on the one hand we have an innocent life.
Then we have a murderer. Someone like Osama or Ted Bundy or Tim McVeigh or Andrea Yates. They are utter scum. And, no, I don't think they deserve to live. They took life, lots of life, and they weren't sorry. How is letting them live in jail a punishment when they don't care what they did? So that's the other side.

I don't think the two lives can be equated.
That's all.
