Pregnant Woman to be killed

With my wife's specialization in newborn pictures and our committment to our Lord Jesus Christ, I feel that this post is relevent to the discussion here. I have recently learned of a British pregnant woman who has been imprisoned in Laos for alleged charges of possession of Heroin (650g). I give you the amount that she is allegedly charged with because Laotian law requires mandatory capital punishment (by firing squad) for possession of Heroin over 500g. I am an advocate for the death penalty and yes, I am also against abortion. A number of things concern me here:

First: I do NOT believe that possession of Heroin is a biblical mandate for the taking of life. The Bible only authorizes capital punishment when the image of God is desecrated through murder. The taking of a life only authorizes a God-ordained GOVERNMENT (do not read individual) to authorize capital punishment.

Second: I hold to the creation of a human being at conception. Therefore, I feel that the Laotian government would be murdering her child unjustly if they executed her before her child was born.
