death penalty and abortion should be illegal

it's interesting that we as a nation are so worried about how high our crime rates are yet we hypocritically turn around and legalize abortion and the death penalty. how do we expect to turn people away from violence if we encourage it in our court and medical systems? as far as the issue of abortion is concerned, no baby should ever be slaughtered on account of the jackass mother or father that says "i don't want to bear a retarded baby" or "i'm only 16, i can't support it so let me just kill it". yeah of course it's horrible for those mothers out there that were raped against their will and as a result have to bear a baby, but that gives them no right to play God and decide that that baby should die. ever heard of adoption programs, or anonymously leaving a baby at a firehouse? there are millions of couples out there that would do ANYTHING to have a baby because they can't themselves. what if that baby that was aborted last night in some hospital could've been the next tiger woods, the next president, or what if he/she could've been the next doctor to stun medical science and find the cure for AIDS? who are we to pass a life or death judgement on a human being? we are nothing more than citizens living in a corrupt world. we do not possess supernatural powers, we are not magicicans despite what some lunatics might claim. we are nobody and nothing compared to what lies in the next life. it's not our place to kill a baby and kill its chances of experiencing love, or first kiss, or first game, or first car, etc... abortion should be illegal. on the issue of the death penalty, i ask this, what does it accomplish? my uncle was slaughtered and murdered outside of his home several years ago and the man that killed him was sentenced to die. he was put to death by injection last year. but did it bring my uncle back? no. did it allow me to go back in time and stop this killer? no. and if you literally take joy in seeing someone die, then you're a sick being. killing someone on account of the bad deeds he/she has done is immoral. if we were killed for some of the bad deeds we've done, we wouldn't have a country left. it's even worse when our court systems seek the death penalty for an inmate and solely base their judgment on the fact that our jails are crowded so we don't have the room to give this person life. i believe there is an underlying conspiracy amongst our court systems and our government. i honestly believe that juries and judges are tougher than ever when sentencing someone to live or die because of the severe overcrowding that we have in our american jails. and it's not like we can send our prisoners to other countries either because that obviously costs money that we don't have. money that piles on top of the 9 trillion dollars worth of debt we are in because our government can't control its spending. so what do we do as a result that we can't build prisons and ship our prisoners overseas? we kill them off like ants on a sidewalk. since our government doesn't know how to regulate its spending and how to NOT get into further debt, people must die for it. how can we expect to get out of this mess known as the "war on terror" if we have our own war going on amongst us? now don't misunderstand me, if someone killed your friend or family member, i sympathize with you completely and i don't think they should be given light treatment just because i'm opposed the death penalty. they should be given life. they should be sent to a jail that is going to work them like dogs 24/7. jail should not be a cakewalk. and if our jails get even more overcrowded than so be it. we'll have our government to blame. but it is not right for someone to die for something completely evil they did. they will recieve their judgment in the afterlife and so will we. we only stoop to their level when we kill them off. people are so worried about peace on earth and our failing economy yet look at what we are doing this very second. no one wants war. no one wants to go overseas to fight terrorism. no one wants to die at the hand of a madman. SO STOP ENCOURAGING IT.
