Doc Roc, I certainly can appreciate your reticence toward capital punishment; however, I am still inclined toward a nation or society living within the bounds of laws and the commensurate consequences for braking those laws being impressed on the transgressors. And some acts are so nefarious, so violent, so horrible that those who do them are accordingly required to forfeit their presence among the living. They still have the opportunity for forgiveness from God.
Conversely, the innocents in the womb, I consider murdered no differently than those sacrificed to Moloch by the Cananites thousands of years ago -- sacrificed to the gods of convenience, of economy, sexual promiscuity, of selfishness. (And I realize many young women are "funneled" toward abortion by a culture that promotes it.)
