Subject: RE: BS: And the assault begins....BUSHwhacked
The contradiction in "Pro-Choice, Vegetarian, anti-death penalty" would be apparently about the same as "Pro-Life, Meat eating, pro-death penalty". The main difference would be when you define 'life' as beginning. If you define life as beginning at birth (or late in the pregnancy, when the fetus can live if removed from the mother), then the first does not contain any contradiction. The second however... Is a criminal dead at the moment he's condemned to death?
