Atheists, the death penalty and abortion...
RE: Atheists, the death penalty and abortion...
I believe in capital punishment depending on the case. Serial killers first, mass murderers, etc. Single murder cases should have concrete evidence before a decision is made. Eye for an eye. They did it to so many other people, why should we care about how they feel when it happens to them? I don't think we should respect the life of someone who didn't respect the life of others. Plus if we started following through with more death penalties maybe our prisons wouldn't be so overcrowded with death row inmates. Average death row wait is 14 years, why? If the case still has evidence being reviewed, fine. But concretely convicted murderers' lives should not be preserved. If we were going to preserve anyone's life make it the lives of the good and innocent individuals that make our world a better place, not those who make us look bad.

I'm pro-choice. The reason being many children are born into families that are not prepared to deal with a child. Rape victims shouldn't have to have the child of the man who raped them. Teenage girls who are not prepared to raise a child should not have to birth a child because they made on mistake. I believe they should be able to abort and continue their lives and better themselves so that further down the road they will be better suited to raise a child when they are ready. So many people are screwed up today because their childhood was unbearable, shouldn't we spare them the trouble? Adoption does not solve the problem, either. We already have an abundance of orphaned children who need homes. We spay and neuter our pets so there isn't an over population of neglected animals, but when it comes to humans its better for them to be orphaned or born into an unsuitable home than to spare them from it altogether? I do agree that after a certain point (third-trimester) it isn't good to do, but if it has to be done it is up to the individual that is getting the procedure. After all, it is their life, not yours. They are the ones who have to deal with the guilt that one feels after something like that.
