Here's a different perspective on abortion. People make a huge fuss over the woman's right to choose. What about the father of the child? Perhaps he wants the child. Do his wishes not matter at all? And honestly, pro choice=pro abortion. I think the woman has the right to make a choice with her own body and that if she chooses to take her clothes off and have sex, then she should deal with whatever consequences there are. The father should be held accountable as well. Now if her choice to have sex is taken away, then she should have an option available. Also, if a man rapes a woman and she gets pregnant and she is opposed to abortion, the man should be held accountable even while in prison. He should pay child support, medical bills, etc. No money? Aww, too bad, you have to stay in jail until you earn enough working in the prison laundry to pay for it. Adoption is a good option either way you look at it.
As for the death penalty. I am all for it and think it should come with a 12 month time period in which to conduct the appeals. If no credible evidence is presented to warrant a new trial, sucks for you. If you sentence someone to death, carry it out in a reasonable time frame.
