The Death Penalty - A UU Discussion

Is believing in the death penalty in conflict with anti-abortion views?  Alternatively, is being pro-choice in conflict with beliefs against the death penalty?  How do these views fit with our UU principle of the worth and dignity of each human being?  "All people on earth have an equal claim to life, liberty, and justice – and no idea, ideal, or philosophy is superior to a single human life."  Would your view of the death penalty change if someone killed a family member?  Dan Larson and Chris Hall will lead an open discussion on this controversial topic.
