exactly, rekna. i happen to fall pretty conservative on some of these issues - abortion, embryonic stem cell research, and assisted suicide (against all, though i'm not too sure where i fall legislation-wise) - but this horrible hipocracy is sadly typical of these right wing christian conservatives. either you respect all forms of human life or you don't...for me it's as simple as that. what kind of bullshit is the death penalty, anyway? we have them locked up, why do we need to kill them? because it costs us money to keep them in jail? to me, still not worth the moral price of murder. to deter others from committing those crimes? people who murder others have little respect for life, themselves. of course they don't want to die, but life isn't the same for them as it is you and me - it's ineffectual, especailly considering that its still murder, state sanctioned or not.
