As we human beings aren't perfect, we sometimes made mistakes. And there's no guarantee that there will be no mistake or misjudging involved during the trial. So I want to be very careful here although I want the death penalty to remain. A lot of people who claim that they committed the crime they were convicted of seem to get away with the death penalty. But those people who insist of their innocence seem to get heavier sentences than they would've if they confessed.
Abortion also takes away the lives of innocent people.
I am against abortion except for the following cases. If the baby inside is expected to be born dead. In case of a rape. If the mother's life will be put in danger. As Sarah said, if the mother were forced to carry the child, she would have to go so much trouble for what wasn't her fault.
