I always found it amusing that conservatives were pro-death penalty. "Hey we want small government and we want it to have less power, but we also want to ensure it has ultimate authority over people and a right to take their lives"

Well I think it mostly amounts to the respect for liberty. A woman has the right to her body, etc....

I don't think the government should be killing people

It's just goo. Not really killing anything. Besides, her body.

I'm not defending their actions, but killing people doesn't deter people from committing those crimes, or bring back the dead. Despite the death penalty, people still kill people. Weird huh?
I don't accept that the government has sovereignty over my life. You would think that people who don't want the government being increasingly involved in their life would certainly not so easily hand over their lives to the whims of that very entity.
