Drew Lane on Drew and Mike (the morning show on WRIF) just derided the phrase "sanctity of life" in reference to some people being disturbed at destroying embryos in order to engage in embryonic stem cell research, saying that it was hypocritical to say one is concerned about the "sanctity of life" while being pro-capital punishment.
Assuming that one believes that an embryo is an actual human (a holding which is the essence of the pro-life view) - he's saying that it is hypocritical for someone to say that it is wrong to benefit from the intentional death of an innocent child (which is what the pro-life crowd views an embryo to be) but it's okay for someone who has committed the most heinous crimes to be put to death? How is it hypocritical for someone to say that when individuals commit the most heinous of crimes they deserve the death penalty but it is immoral to murder what one considers an innocent child?
