THAT is why we have no problem with the death pentalty, if they murder dozens of people their lives are nothing to be valued. A person who has committed no sin, hurt no person, done no wrong other than being alive does not deserve to die.

I have a tremendous problem with both the death penalty and abortion. Where you hold innocenet life in high esteem (I certianally understand that), I hold all life in high esteem. If Hitler were put on trial after the final solution, and I were on the hypothetical jury, I would not be able to condem him to the death penalty. That's just me. I am personally confused by the stereotypical liberal view in which abortion is alright, but the death penalty is wrong. I see that as being contradictory.
My main concern about abortion is a combination of dehumanization of a fetus with a lack of acocuntability. The dehumanization point is endlessly debatable, but I doubt many can argue that a 16 year old girl who gets laid should be allowed to simply abort her problems away.
In the cases of rape condom break, and incest, there are ways to prevent the fertilization of the egg. You have 72 hours after intercourse to take a pill that will prevent the ovaries from releassing the egg. The success rate of that pill is roughtly 90%. It is a contraceptive, not an abortion pill. Bottom line: I don't see a need for abortion with the mornign after pill. Can you imagine if abortions were reduced by 90% over night?
