Changeable, basically. My anti-death penalty view is non-negotiable. As much as I understand the impulse for certain people, trust me I do, it's about the principle for me. It's about the fact that you be better than other people who do bad things. Killing them in a nicer way does not count as "better" to me.

Of course it should be the opposite case with liberals.
I'm perfectly happy with my thinking on it, because if I don't actually believe that an aborted zygote/fetus/Wev is a person, then I don't create a moral contradiction by my indifference to its not existing any more. So I'm not actually contradicting myself.
