Can you be pro-life and pro-death penalty?

Carol Costello’s article on ‘Can you be Pro-life and Pro-death Penalty?’ talks about the existence of a conflict of opinion among various personalities regarding the essence of taking an individual’s life such as people subjected to the death row or sustaining the life of an unborn child concerning abortion practices. Castello (2014) argues that the death penalty option for a criminal is viewed as taking of human life and that most individuals are proponents. However, pro-life entities such as the Catholic Church are strictly pro-life and as such condemn practices such as abortion, eunathasia, and subjecting criminals to the death row. Castello (2014) also notes that many individuals are inconsistent with their decisions.

Reese was totally correct when he said "Life is something that comes from God and should not be taken away by man," God is capable of controlling human life. Also, God allowed death penalty and abortion in certain cases. The fist reason that make Reese correct is when peoples' life allowed to take by people the world becomes mess. The crimes spread everywhere and murder becomes normal, so God only can control humans' life. The second reason God put roll for human that allow them kill or abortion in certain cases. This is erect for people to save their life and take their beards. In Islam religion the killer kills also, there are some exception. The abortion allow if the baby will affect the mother. The last reason, when there are not exception the life will be difficult and unfair. For example, someone kill someone by mistake, this is should not killed because this was by mistake. Finally, the life is from God and God only can take the life.

People who take human life should take their life is good idea because the life will be safe. The first reason is the criminals will learn from other mistake and they will not do the same mistake. The second reason, if there are strict law people will fear punishment. They will think about punishment before they are going into the crime. On the contrary, if there are not punishment there will not conservative human life. Thirdly, the society will become a conscious society. Also, the society becomes sophisticated by thought and level. Finally, the murderer must be killed.

It is not contradictory to be against abortion and with pro-death penalty for many important reasons. Firstly, people who pro-death penalty are doing something wrong and they take their punishment, so this is justice. For example, when someone kill someone else without reason. It is fair and equal to kill the murder a penalty for him\his. Secondly, abortion is criminality if there is not significant reason for that. If the mother want to abortion the baby just because she doesn’t want him\her, this is considered a crime. Thirdly, in some cases they should not be pro-death penalty because it is inexpedient. Also, for abortion it ok if there are side effects.

Those people believe it is contradictory to be against abortion but pro-death penalty. They say abortion and pro-death penalty are the same. Some people think in both way they are killing the soul no matter if the person guilty or not.
