Actually, the U.S. dropped 2 atomic bombs on Japan, you think they cared about life!?!?! The fact is, the only life the U.S. wanted to protect is that of their own citizens, at the disposal of other life which it believed had less value.

Life in prison also works as a deterrant. Some people who apparently "forfeit their right to live" are given life in prison, while some are executed. Seems unfair, but like they say life is unfair, especially if you are a fetus.

Of course a fetus has done nothing wrong. I was just trying to prove that the government duty is protect the life only of its own citizens and that some seemingly pointless killing is lawful.
A fetus has no right to life. It exists in someones womb, that person has complete control over his/her body and can deport the fetus as desired. Just like if you live in someone eleses house, that person can throw you out, no questions asked. The government cannot deny women the right to remove a fetus anymore than it can deny a building owners right to remove tenants. It is a privledge to live in in someones womb, just like it is to live in someones building.
