"Whether or not abortion is wrong or not does not depend upon whether or not capital punishment is wrong or not. They are separate issues. The fact that one or the other may exist does not justify making a wrong decision in implimenting a policy on the other."
What the fuck?
The entire point is that as long as your reasoning for banning abortion is: "Conscious individual beings have a right to life"- then the natural and logical response will be the question of Capital Punishment. Your inability to discuss this aspect of the driving ideals behind your belief that abortion is wrong is indictive of a rudimentary understanding of those ideals.
They are *not* seperate issues. That just you trying to re-frame the debate. Sorry, but most of pro-choicer have gone to college and we know that this is not how any adult would debate this issue. Why are you so fucking afraid to tell us your age, sex, or a statement about your sexual experiences? It's just plain suspicious.
Re-read and RESPOND:
[b]"
Consciousness does not imply right to live. As long as there is
capital punishment, the decision of whether all human life is sacred is an arbitrary one, and
not decided on absolutes such as definition of life, etc."
