I think the issues should be kept seperate.

Can't really compare someone who commited murder to an unborn.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

The only innocent life is babies (after they are born).

What I meant was that it is better for the state to execute a murderer than let a murderer kill someone.
