Except when it comes to the death penalty, right? Then you aren't truly pro-life.
You really raise an excellent point.
Can those who think that our justice system failed Terri Schiavo remain confident that our justice system isn't occasionally making mistakes in death penalty cases? When we grant our judicial system the power to make life/death decisions, don't we just have to accept that there will be some occasional mistakes? Is it more or less moral of us to, because of an honest mistake, kill a perfectly healthy, but innocent human being by lethal injection than to, because of an honest mistake, kill a less than perfectly healthy, but innocent patient by starvation?
Maybe Terri Schiavo's death was just an honest mistake. ;-)
Oh, if that isn't a liberal thing to say! A criminal who is being punished for a crime is a far cry from a bed ridden, handicapped woman being starved to death just because she IS handicapped. And criminals, at the very least get the lethal injection. Count to ten and you're gone. Terri went 13 days without food and water.
If you're going to argue, you're going to have to do better than Lib 101 dialogue.
So, from that perspective, clearly I feel exactly the same about any death penmalty case...if there is doubt, you cannot convict. Therefore your assertion about me is false. If there is no reasonable doubt about a heinious killer or criminal, that you should convict. That is the law and it is a good one.
As rtegards life in geenral, my feeling is that innocent life must be preserved at all costs. Terri was innocent, the unborn are innocent.
