I implied nothing of the sort, Read my statement again.

They overturned Roe vs. Wade?anarres said:Sad because there are no more state sponsored murders of minors.
That is, if you have to think of abortion as state sponsored murders of minors, another cathegory of state sponsored murders of minors. Though you know that. It would be a lot more interesting to hear your thoughts of capital punnishment of minors instead (though I think I know what stand you've taken on that).rmsharpe said:They overturned Roe vs. Wade?

Considering that the deliquent will not change in psychological disposition upon reaching adulthood, I see no reason to let them out to kill agian, and then execute them. It'd simply be better to snuff them now. If a juvenile kills and the court deems him otherwise fit for execution, I can't imagine him coming around and being subject to a conscience that takes the effects of murder on others and himself into consideration.zulu9812 said:I implied nothing of the sort, Read my statement again.

(Incidentally, do the unborn legally count as "minors"?)

Im 9 months away form being 18.zulu9812 said:That's not really the issue. Minors are not considered fully rational, fully developed, or fully autonomous. Thus is is unfair to punish them in the same way as those who are. If it was, then that would be an indication that minors were fully rational & autonomous moral agents - thus you would have to give them the vote as well.
