Re: What I do not understand about the conservative ideology
What he said. To elaborate, the reason some "ultra conservative pro-lifers" bomb abortion clinics is based on the idea of innocence. No one has the right to kill an innocent human being. But a human being that is guilty of a crime or is a danger to society can justifiably be killed for the greater good. Abortionists are not considered innocent by "conservative pro-lifers" because they kill innocent human beings. Thus, it is logical for them to conclude that capital punishment is ok, because they look at it from a perspective of innocence and justice.
I don't know why this simple concept is not understood or ever explained in the media.
