It all comes down to whether you consider if a fetus is a human being or not. And whether you consider that a woman should be forced to go through pregancy or not (a very unpleasant and disgusting experience). I don't think I can tell a woman to go through such an ordel if she doesn't want to.

Cocnerning the death penalty, we're talking about an actual human being, not an embryo.

I kinda figured the pro-choice/anti-death penalty crowd would use that reasoning.

On the other hand, how do the pro-life/pro-death penalty advocates defend their stance?

Yep, if you're pro-choice/anti-death penalty and consider a fetus in its early stages human you would have to do quite some moral manuevering.

Pro-life/pro-death penalty I guess consider a fetus an innocent?
