I am a pro-life atheist

[Zen Badger]

The inconsistency I most notice with liberals is that they support abortion but oppose the death penalty. To her credit, Shell B is actually the anomaly on that issue, since she both supports abortion, and (to an extent) supports the death penalty. She's the only person I've come across who actually seems to care about being consistent; I wish there were more of you like that.

I support the death penalty, but not as a form of punishment.

Only as a way of solving an intractable problem.

Serial rapists, mass murderers, child molesters and the like.

Basically people who cannot or will not change their behaviour and will always be a physical threat to the community.
