Not only that, but they claim that a person who is against abortion but for the death penalty is a hypocrite. What they do not understand is the fundamental difference between an innocent baby in the womb and a person guilty of a heinous crime.

As an example, follow this exchange several years ago between Alan Keyes and a college student when she pointed out this apparent dichotomy. He provided this analogy. Your father commits the crime of having killed a police officer in cold blood. He is arrested, tried and convicted by a jury of peers and the evidence is overwhelming and he admits to the crime. At the sentencing hearing the judge declares that the punishment for the crime is the execution of the young woman (his daughter) by lethal injection and the father is free to go. Keyes asked her how she felt about that sentence? Her response was that it was ridiculous as she wasn't guilty of any crime, it was her father that killed the police office so why should she be executed by lethal injection for her father's crime.

He then asked her why it was any different for a baby in the womb? She stood there for a couple of minutes thinking about it and turned and walked away. It is even more stark when you consider that the actual crime that these babies are being executed for is simply being an unwanted pregnancy. And its even worse when you consider the disproportionate number of black and hispanic babies that are killed each year. There is a reason Planned Parenthood prefers being located in lower income, minority areas. Margaret Sanger would be so pleased that they are so effective in culling blacks and hispanics from the herd which was her objective in getting abortion legalized in the first place.
