Do You Believe in Human Dignity?

[Nahum]

Well, the reason I ask is because of some of the posts I have viewed of late that seem to indicate that there are certain individuals and groups who are not worthy of basic human dignity.

We have humane societies for animals, and yet we kill unborn babies?

Murder murderers?

Torture terrorists?

I'm not sure.

I don't believe self-defense is wrong, if that's what your asking.

But I am 100% against abortion - and the death penalty.

I am 100% for protecting innocent life. sometimes that means executing someone who is both guilty of murder, and a danger to repeat the offense.

babies however are innocent beings.

So many times we convict and execute wrongfully.

In that case, we become murderers ourselves.

I am for laws that limit the ability to inact the death penalty to cases where solid and obvious evidence exists.

that does not mean I am for allowing a killer to continue to have oppurtunity to kill again.

Yes human dignity exists. It is not something that can be commanded it has to be given. Some earn it and some earn to not have it.
