A Pro-Lifer Actually Walks the Walk, While Perry is Exposed

Is it possible to legislate without laws?

I really don't understand the question. Are you asking me if we need laws? Are you asking me if laws need laws to laws?

I'm sure this post will start another epic hissy fit, but here goes.

This thread proves how rigid people are when it comes to ideology.

I can see why some one would oppose the execution of a mentally ill man, and I can see why people are against the death penalty in general. I oppose the death penalty myself.

To say someone who opposes abortion, and yet has no problem with the death penalty(and vise versa), is hypocritical, reeks of a simple black and white view of the issues.
If I oppose abortion because I feel that fetuses are babies and have no say in the matter, compared to growin men who had a choice in the matter, and yet still made the decision to commit a crime that landed them on death row. That's not hupocrisy. To be fair, I could also say that it's wrong to kill that man on deathrow, regardless of his crime. And yet, abortion isn't wrong, because a fetus isn't a person. Not hypocritical either.

Personally, I oppose the death penalty, on several grounds. I also consider abortion morally repugnant, would never want to personally support the act, but I would never endorse any law that prohibits women from getting an abortion. Some would accuse me of being ideologically stringent as well, as far as libertarianism goes, I guess. But I oppose state sanctioned violence in 9 out of ten cases, and don't abide by laws that interfere with people's personal choices, not matter how f**k up they are.

Complex issues sometimes demand more than black and white opinions.

You act like Rick perry invented the term pro-life. It's been of our political vernacular for quite a long time.

Actually, I invented the term "pro-life," not long after I got back from Nam.
