Republicans are NOT PRO LIFE

Wouldn't "Pro Life" be NO death penalty?

Maybe y'all missed it while starting your anti-Republican threads....the delegates have voted and Romney is their nominee.

I didn't miss anything.. I asked a question. Can one be Pro Life and for the death penalty?

Of course one can be pro life and pro death penalty. Unborn babies haven't been convicted of any crime.
I have some reservations about the death penalty but there are plenty of pro choice Democrats who support a death penalty.

Well lets look at the flip side (the liberal side). Can one be pro-choice and against the death penalty?

Very good question.
Personally, I think it's two entirely different issues.

Absolutely, one can be pro-choice and oppose the death penalty. One can also be pro-choice and pro-life in the way that Othershoe is probably thinking.

People who protest at abortion clinics certainly don't line up to adopt those children that they insist should be born. They seem to prefer condemning the pregnant woman rather than looking for a viable solution for the child.

People who oppose abortion also tend to oppose WIC, food stamps, and any other program that might benefit a mother and child.
