In an Irrational World

My reflections today lead me in the way of conflicting arguments; how people often claim one stance, but simultaneously hold view on another topic that completely contradicts the principle involved in the former. I know you're dying for examples... Certain individuals state that the death penalty is wrong, ruthless and disrespectful to human life. I can see how people have this view of it; not my own but at least, it's understandable. What boggles me, is these same people are pro-abortion!! Apparently, the only human life of value must be outside the womb. If someone hits you, oh, that's abuse. Sue them, why not? You'd probably win. But the unborn? Nah, you can mutilate their young bodies, discard their very souls with no qualms of conscience. And how is this manner of death any more humane than the other?? I mean, really, killing a being before he's had a chance to see his mother's face. Even a convicted felon on death row is allowed his last words. Are our smallest innocent citizens to be refused their first?
