I have always had firm beliefs on some key issues...but am I wrong in what I believe? Because once I sit and look at everything...it seems I'm wishy washy.
I have been a pro-life person. There is sanctity in life. I feel that there are alternatives to abortion...maybe this comes from the fact that I myself was adopted at 14 days old. I don't condone bombing clinics or harasing people who choose to have an abortion. Neither am I an abstinence only person...just because that's what I'm choosing not everyone has to; and if people are going to have sex they need to be doing it safely.
I'm against euthanasia, as in doctor-assisted suicide. Yet when my friends and I discuss getting older we all say, please shoot me before I have to go into a home. There really isn't a difference...but there are so many moral and ethical issues surrounding euthanasia, that for the time being I don't support it.
One thing I do support is lethal injection. There are prisonsand jails that are overcrowded (excuses as to why some people are not behind bars longer---mainly celebrities). If all evidence points to the guilty party, and use of DNA evidence points to them too, I think that lethal injection is an okay option...but then again if evidence came up that the person was not guilty and died that would definitely weigh on a persons conscious.
I guess...I'm having an internal conflict with myself. If I am pro-life saying that every life is sacred how can I support lethal injection? Is it possible to be in support of both? Or does being in support of one take away from being in support of another?












Personally, I agree with you on those issues. I'm pro-life, etc...but when it comes to lethal injection, I find myself supporting it. Heinous crimes that are worthy of the death penalty deserve death.
