Abortion = innocent who has done nothing wrong to deserve the death penalty.
Death Penalty = used to kill someone who committed horrendous crimes and no longer deserves to live.
Big differences. Personally I don't like the death penalty because there are people convicted who are innocent. I can't stand the thought of an innocent person being killed because of a system that isn't perfect. But I don't find the issues to be related in my mind.
You seem to think that I'm a D and as such stand for abortion and against the death penalty.
I remind you I'm not from the USA, much less from any political party.
I've never been to fond of human kind, I do believe we act like a virus.
As such my way of thinking as a youngster was pretty much "shoot them all let God sort them out". Now and especially since I've got kids, I'm more towards giving each the right to choose, I personally wouldn't go the way of the abortion except in extreme cases, but think that should be each persons decision to live with. Regarding the death penalty I'd also be ok with the invested party choosing, but making sure his choice isn't a burden to society. You want to do live, either because you're scared of death or you are innocent and hope that will come to light, fine but have them working to pay for their room and board. Death fine, but non of this months or years in expensive death row, you get swiftly (and in a cost= effective way) executed the next day.
