OK, you got me. Anti-capital punishment. Pro-abortion. Well, not pro-abortion, exactly. I can accept that abortions are sometimes neccessary, and the mother should have the right to choose. I can't say that I like the idea, but I'm prepaired to accept it.

I rationalise the difference by believing that live begins at birth, rather than conception.

> I find it interesting that most people who oppose the death penalty are all for abortion. And yet those who support the death penalty are opposed to abortion.

Hmm. Any idea why that might be? It's not what I would call an intuitive answer...
