Either life is sacred, or it is not. Kill babies and criminals, or don't kill babies and criminals.

On the other hand, you can look at it as a liberty issue... Women have the right to abort unborn children, and people who have had their loved one's slain by a criminal have the right to impose an execution on the killer through the government.

You could also say that babies have the right to not be aborted, and criminals have the right to not be executed by the government.

Or you could switch those around into the obvious dichotomies DDA mentioned above.

Is that clear?
