"Cares too much about about arguing, and ignoring anything that may cross his beliefs."
Tell me what I am ignoring that may 'cross my beliefs'.

I am not for the death penalty. I am consistent in my principles.
Regarding this:
"In the abortion debate, I believe that autonomy has only been established by a fetus once it has accumulated a unique, unimitatable individual persona,"
I disagree. Genetically human + exhibits characteristics of human = 'human life'. That said, it is the proper function of good government to defend and protect *life*, liberty, and property. My opinions are totally consistent.
"As such, consciousness is not enough to justify murder, and the parents are not guilty of anything worse than an appendix procedure."
See above.
"As such, a nation can't ethically have a defense of a fetus' life on the *principle of consciousness* and still claim the right to off people."
If the fetus is exhibiting one or more of the characteristics of 'life', can be considered to be 'alive', or essentially alive, and is genetically human, it is then a 'human life', and to kill it is murder, plain and simple.
