Interesting that Rkmickey doesn't get my point at all. *Pro-death penalty*
sentiments and *anti-abortion* sentiments are usually related in America
(with a very limited number of exceptions), about which his post says
nothing. Lots of Americans--including a good deal of leftists--are more
into punishment than those in many other countries.
