Only a Liberal…

While it doesn’t apply to all liberals, most support a “woman’s right to choose” whether to abort a fetus or not, but oppose the death penalty for any criminal, no matter what they did. Pro-abortion, anti-death penalty. This is not consistent.

It is rational to be against the death penalty. There is a rational train of thought that can conclude that just because someone killed a lot of people does not mean a government has the right to kill that person. The rationale is that killing is killing, and killing is wrong. That is rational even if it is simplistic.

But for that same person to be supportive of a woman’s right to arbitrarily end the existence of an 8 1/2 month old fetus, or even a 9 month old fetus that is in the process of being birthed, makes no sense. I’m not talking about situations where the baby will die anyway and the mother needs the abortion to survive. I’m talking about the liberal position that you can NEVER infringe upon a woman’s right to “privacy.” Being for abortion but against the death penalty is inconsistent, and makes no sense.
I have a solution. Instead of calling it the “death penalty” we will refer to it as “post-birth abortion.” If a woman has the right to choose the fate of an innocent fetus, a society should be allowed to choose whether to abort a guilty adult. Do you think liberals would get mad if “post-birth abortions” were carried out with the same techniques used for fetal abortions?

Only a liberal would fight tooth and nail to prevent the death of a convicted child rapist/murderer, but support a female’s right to abort an innocent fetus.

This is not a BLINDLY pro-life statement, I am in fact in favor of it in certain situations. But it is the epitome of hypocrisy to be ok with aborting an innocent life, but adamantly against aborting an evil life.
