Roe v Wade

So why is it okay to sentance a rapist to death but not okay for a woman to get an abortion? Seems to me you're being selective about being pro-life?
Yes. I am selective about being pro-life and I value the life of babies over the life of rapists. Do you have a problem with that?

I don't support the death penalty for any crime. There are too many cases where innocent people are executed. But you didn't explain why being selective about pro-life is ok.

The American Judicial system is so broken that I can not support anything it does because I believe it is to corrupt to have any authority over us. It is just a "thing" that harms us. Even if there was no death penalty in the US, the police would still be confronting people and killing them for stupid reasons. Innocent people would die because our judicial system does not work to protect them.

But in a working judicial system, I believe the death penalty has a place.

I didnt invent the term pro-life. It is just the name I have been called so thats what I call myself. I believe murderers and rapists should die and that unborn babies should live. This is because I place more value on the lives of innocent babies than I do on rapists. And I believe putting murders and rapists to death will deter this crimes, thus preserving more innocent life.

And yet it has been shown the death penalty is not an effective deterant. Therefore it will not preserve more innocent lives. It's attitudes like yours that make me believe pro-lifers are hypocrites.

We have this strange "thing" that the Judicial System calls a "death penalty" in the US, that's true. A death penalty in the US means living the rest of your life in prison and never being executed. Criminals know they will likey get their sentenced to commuted to life in prison or die from natural causes. So of course that doesnt work.

However the avoidance of a painfull and immediate death has been the most observed motivational factors in all of human history. It is a truism that it is a deterrent. You can't even imagine a world where this would be not true.

I call . I would bet most rapists, murders, etc. don't even think about what the consequences of thier actions in terms of punishment.

Well, you said knowing that their punishment should be the death penalty, then they supposedly would be thinking, I better not rape that girl because I'll get executed if I get caught

Let me know what you think about it sometime. Just saying "Murderers and Rapists don't care about penalties for crimes" isn't really and answer. I mean, is that true? Mostly true? Seldom true? What are the reasons and so on..
