Morality draws the dividing line between what is right and wrong. When developing an opinion toward the death penalty, one immediately drifts toward a certain side. Introduced to world justice systems early on, the death penalty became a means of punishment for those who committed crimes deemed as morally reprehensible.

Both sides make strong arguments to support their side. The main question behind abortion is whether the act is murder of an unborn child or the right of the mother to choose what happens to her body.

Abortion Speech Everyone has a right to live. Some people are not given this opportunity. They don’t experience life. They don’t know what life is. Abortion kills around 40-50 million little lives around the world each year, putting a stamp on their grave, UNWANTED. Why do we make life unfair for others? Why do we end life before it has begun? Why are we killing the new generation? The biggest question is why is abortion legal? Nobody denies that abortion is legal in some cases. For example if the

The death penalty is a direct violation of the constitution of the United States, and should be deemed unlawful by the Supreme Court.

Genocide: A Challenge to the Right to Life Das Recht hat kein Dasein für sich, sein Wesen vielmehr ist das Leben der Menschen selbst, von einer Seite angesehen. – Savigny Law has no existence for itself; rather its essence lies, from a certain perspective, in the very life of men.

The Founding Fathers were inspired by the Enlightenment and the ideas of natural rights. In the Constitution Thomas Jefferson writes about “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” which was taken from John Locke who wrote “Life, Liberty, and Property”.
