This makes absolutely no sense. I'm not knocking your stance, just wondering how you think it's okay to eliminate an innocent fetus, that if left to its own devices, would in all likelihood be born but not okay to put someone like Charles Manson to death for crimes he admitted to doing without showing a lick of remorse for committing them.

On the other hand, I don't understand being pro-life and pro death penalty, either.

I'm pro-choice and anti-death penalty too.

The death penalty costs way too much money.  There are 2 ways to lower the costs: abolish the death penalty entirely, which will save tons of money (good) and never accidentally kill an innocent person again (very good), or allow for speedier executions with fewer appeals, which will save money (good), but leads to more accidental executions of the innocent (very bad).

I think the abortion argument is unrelated.

That makes sense because you're looking at it from an entirely financial perspective. I may have assumed incorrectly that the original poster was looking at it from a moral perspective, which makes no sense to me in any way.
