Poland's All Front Fight for Life

I have never understood why killing a convicted criminal is bad while killing an unborn child is a good choice to have. If one is to fight for life of a criminal, should they be committed to maintaining all forms of life? Well Poland seems to think so too.

Poland's refusal to go along with its fellow 26 E.U. member states has stymied the bloc's plans to mark an official "European day against the death penalty" next month. Poland's deputy justice minister, Andrzej Duda, argued at a meeting of E.U. justice and interior ministers last week that the union should instead celebrate a "right to life" day, with abortion and euthanasia on the agenda, too.

Fight for the “right to life” on fronts sounds like a reasonable stance. I have mixed feelings on the death penalty myself but when it comes to abortion I firmly believe it is wrong. At least with the death penalty, the individual has done some serious evil (unless they are truly innocent). When it comes down to it, I would be much more comfortable with both being illegal then both being legal. I would rather error on the side of life then death.

"As serious as the death penalty is, the execution of a justly convicted criminal does not approach the level of evil -- intrinsic evil -- as abortion or the direct, intended killing of any innocent person, be they in the womb or a hospital bed," Mallon argued.
