You don't know my views on abortion. But they're two separate issues, and one of the two practices being legal doesn't make the other right, either way around. Do you disagree with the death penalty? Personally I tend to see both abortion and the death penalty as taking a life. Whether or not some people redefine life in order to make abortion in all circumtances seem acceptable, is up to them. I personally don't do that. Abortion is taking a life.
The only instances I think where abortion ought to even be on the table are where there is a direct threat to mum's life or where the pregnancy came about without mum's consent. The first, I think is fair because a pregnant woman who might die as a result of pregnancy, ought to be able to save her own life even if it means ending the baby's. The second because pregnancy ought to come about through consensual sex; it's as cruel to force a woman to carry a child that came about from rape, as it is to rape her yourself. It ought to be her choice in that situation; in my opinion the abortion would be on the rapist's head, not her's. Obviously in a perfect world she would recognize the child is innocent and keep it, but in a perfect world women wouldn't get raped. Neither choice - abort or not -- is easy for a woman who conceived from a rape, but at least allow her the choice, I say. Yet I find abortion "on demand" unjustifiable.
As for the death penalty, I personally couldn't execute someone. The same way I couldn't personally kill a child in the womb. But I suppose the difference is that if someone commits a crime against me, they aren't going to be a part of my body, growing inside me. So the two issues, at least in that regard, aren't comparable.
