I find this to be incongruent thinking. I can see that. There are lots of ways of looking at each of them. Depending on how you come at them, I suppose they could be congruent or incongruent or independent of each other. Like I said, I don't see a choice angle on the death penalty.

I find this to be incongruent thinking. At one end, you have people who think taking a large dose of birth control pills to stop a fertilized egg from attaching to the womb is murder. At the other end you have Peter Singer, a bio-ethics professor at Princeton, who thinks it is fine to kill a newborn if the parents don't want it. He has quite a following. Between these two extremes laws are passed by legislatures to find a compromise solution. Neither extreme will ever be happy. But that is why we have a system set up to handle it.
