I have said pretty much the same thing when speaking with people who are against abortions but for the death penalty. I do believe they should be removed from society, but I believe it is God's choice as to when they die, and how they die. Our job is to try and witness to that soul before it transitions.

Be niether (the hypothetical) judge nor jury....but on the witness stand.
