The death penalty is an entirely different kettle of fish. Libertarians and liberals tend to overlap on the death penalty because of the idea that it grants to much power to the state to be able to kill anyone even if they are the most heinous blood thirsty child raping murderer. Also because of the margin of error. Even if it is in the single digits we know statistically that innocent people have and will continue to be executed. I used to be rabidly pro death penalty and I think there are plenty of people who deserve to die for the crimes they have committed but I think that margin of error is too high a price to pay for that blood lust.

Now with Abortion. At what point does a fetus move from a pile of cells into a human being. What about cases of rape and incest. Cases of threats to life of the mother.
