In your home, it's do or YOU die. In the courts, it's do and HE dies. A big difference, since the murderer is restrained. Not true at all. What about the poor man and wife that has seen their little girl raped and murdered? Who speaks for their PROLIFE position? They certainly wanted their daughter alive. They have to depend on the people/courts for their PROLIFE position, because if the father killed the perp in the courtroom while he was on trial, he then would be tried. As I said, I would not object to a life without parole under specific conditions. As it is now, even the worst of American prisons are cakewalks compared to the crime of murder. your position (probably pro-capital punishment) is 100% consistent with the opinions of the overt "pro-lifers" I know. Let's say I believe in life in prison only. Under the present system, how long do you think it would be before one of several things happen: 1. Escape - to murder again 2. Let loose my mistake- free to murder again 3. Overcrowding and let loose- free to murder again 4. perp murders someone in prison In the eyes of the ones murdered, that is not a very prolife position to take is it?
