My perspective on being Pro Life

I stir the pot, I create controversy, I make waves, I didn't get dressed up for nothing...

When it comes to being Pro Life (which I am), I think about what that means for me. Yes, I am supportive of the mother of the unborn child and the unborn child, but it doesn't stop there, for I am pro life for all. By this I mean that I am Pro Life for those who are on death row (life without parole is a much better option) and also for those who we deem America's enemies. The soldiers who do defend our freedoms and liberties, I support what them but not the war itself, there is a time and place for war...this, this isn't the time or the place.
I am also supportive of the ones who fight against us as well, they are fighting for what they deem as right themselves, they are human beings made in the image of God and they deserve lie as much as the next person.

When it comes to murderers and other prisoners who are condemned to die, I support their right to life as well; granted it might be life without parole behind bars and not in society as you and I know it, but it is life nonetheless. Who are we to play God and state who should live and shouldn't.

My peers (not all, but some) have a mindset that limits them to define being pro life as to only being the unborn child[ren] and the mom...that's all. It irks me a little bit when they they limit themselves to these set terms, a life is a life, whether you're unborn or you're in jail for killing someone else.

Now some people have given me extreme examples, recently someone mentioned those who were warlords during World War 2, the ones who mistreated and murdered Jews. I am partially Jewish and yet my response hasn't changed, we should have gave them life with parole in jail, give them the lesser evil instead of killing them. I'm sure I pissed off the person I was talking to about my stance on being pro life, she even mentioned to me that they "deserved it". My heart cried at this, they deserved it? I wondered in my head, are we then no more the monsters then they were? Are we no more guilty then they were?
We are all made in God's likeness, it is not for us to decide who lives and who does not.
