Sorry if I was implying that all pro-choice proponents are against
capital punishment, but many are--the mainstream Democratic/liberal
view upholds that capital punishment is a no-no and abortion is a
greenlight. I think President Clinton, being a moderate, was an
exception--he was for the death penalty, but not a lot of Dems agreed
with him on this stance.

Read any of Anna Quindlen's Last Words in the back pages of Newsweek
and you'll see the classic East-Sider lefty arguments at their best
(and worst)--sometimes in the same article, she defends death-row
inmates' "rights" while upholding pro-abortion views. She is an
excellent writer, but I marvel at this contradiction...
