Who can explain why liberals are against the death penalty for heinous criminals but are for open abortion?"?

I feel like I'm going to get shot for this answer, and it's not particularly indicative of my own beliefs. But a fetus is not a person, legally. In a young healthy mother, a fetus only stands about an 80-85% chance of surviving from conception to birth, and in an older mother that rate stands at about 66% (health.discovery.com/centers/pregnancy/a...).

It has the potential to grow into being a person, but is not one. Judeo-Christian tradition and history, until recent redactions, have maintained that breath is an integral part of the soul (an interpretation of Genesis 2:7), and so a fetus does not have a soul, and is therefore not a person. If you take the premise that a fetus is not a person, and you hold the right of an individual over their own body sacrosanct, then you get to the point where abortion can and should be legal.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
