There is absolutely no conflict.

When convicted of murderer the death penalty is appropriate and does not violate Biblical teachings.

Good for Bachmann.


Read what she said.

First of all, she misquoted the actual pledge.

Second of all, "natural" has nothing to do with Biblical teachings about capital punishment. "Natural" means "natural".

And, I'm still waiting for clarification from someone that can/will actually READ and THINK about the pledge she (mis)quoted.
She did misquote the pledge.
This is the actual pledge from their website: http://www.sba-list.org/2012pledge
Stand up for Life! Will you take the 2012 Pro-Life Citizen's Pledge?

I PLEDGE that I will only support candidates for President who are committed to protecting Life. I demand that any candidate I support commit to these positions:

FIRST, to nominate to the U.S. federal bench judges who are committed to restraint and applying the original meaning of the Constitution, not legislating from the bench;

SECOND, to select only pro-life appointees for relevant Cabinet and Executive Branch positions, in particular the head of National Institutes of Health, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Health & Human Services;

THIRD, to advance pro-life legislation to permanently end all taxpayer funding of abortion in all domestic and international spending programs, and defund Planned Parenthood and all other contractors and recipients of federal funds with affiliates that perform or fund abortions;

FOURTH, advance and sign into law a Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to protect unborn children who are capable of feeling pain from abortion.

The first sentence of their pledge SHOULD read:
I PLEDGE that I will only support candidates for President who are committed to protecting innocent Life.


Again, how does that pledge AS IT ACTUALLY READS stand in regard to a stance of pro-death penalty.

For the record, I am anti-abortion and pro-death penalty.
