Challenge Response: You're Not Really Pro-Life if You Support the Death Penalty
Alan responds to the claim that pro-lifers are inconsistent if they support the death penalty. I am back from vacation.

It’s funny because he’s 10 or 12 years older than me, so he has to do all those cool things with his family, music, and cool graphics to look young and edgy.

If you were in a burning lab and you had to choose between saving ten embryos or one toddler, which would you choose? You’d choose the toddler, wouldn't you? That just proves that you don't really think the embryos are valuable human beings like the toddler.
