I was being sarcastic when I said I was Pro-Choice.
Although I can't say technically that I'm pro-life, because that includes no death penalty....and I say, if you kill someone you fry.
I had a teacher once that said it was impossible to feel that abortion was wrong and the death penalty is right. WRONG. One's an innocent who hasn't done anything. The other is a convitected criminal. Very different.

Actually, you can be anti-abortion and still feel the death penalty has its place - and in all that, still be 'pro-life.' Pro-life has to do with the dignity of all human life, even that which has yet to be born (how something can one minute NOT be human life and the next minute BE human life is beyond me - a pregnant women will not be giving birth to a puppy!). The death penalty has to do with social justice - and should only be used as a last resort for the protection of society, but is still an option.
