Man, I was hoping for some religion with my politics. Oh well.

1. I'm pro-choice. IMO it just doesn't make sense to define the starting point of a life as anything other than birth.

2. I can't say without a doubt that no crime is worth capital punishment, but what I definitely believe is that we can never be sure enough of a given person's guilt to kill them. The death penalty is 100% final, so it seems like the only way to justify it is if you're 100% sure of someone's guilt-- and that's just not possible.
