I oppose this bill, as well. We already have illegal abortions after the first trimester, and that's good enough.
And your exceptions to the no capital punishment rule completely contradict the point of outlawing capital punishment.
How so?
The Bill states that abortion should not be allowed barring extraordinary circumstances and like wise for capital punishment. I see no contradiction. If we are to allow killing under one set of extraordinary circumstances, why not another?
Certainly, the law is meant to protect those who can be rehabilitated and for those who are so sick that they cannot see the fault of their actions, well....
I think the problem a lot of DP supports have is the misconception that those who are against it oppose it in principle. I support capital punishment in principle, but I recognize that it can NOT be flawlessly used, and we have had several individuals come within DAYS of their execution, before being found innocent of thier accused crime.
Even if the criminal's crime is even worse in comparison to other capital punishment-worthy crimes, the death penalty should not be an option. In prison, there are ways to make a mass-murderer or terrorist's stay much worse.
And off topic, for many prisoners that are already in prison, I don't buy the argument that most of them have it good, and are living "as if they were in a hotel," as I've heard some people put it.
