The Death Penalty

I am against the death penalty. I know that many conservatives disagree with me on this, but too bad!

The Supreme Court's decision that children who commit crimes when they are 17 and under should not be executed is a good one. It is cruel and unusual punishment. Keep them in prison for life, but do not kill them.

I am sick of conservative radio and tv pundits talking about how great the death penalty is and how wrong they believe the Supreme Court is in this case.

I am also pro-life and anti-euthenasia. I am consistent. Life is precious and it is not ours to take away, except in defense.

I would like to see the death penalty abolished in this country. If one innocent person is put to death, that is one person too many, and with DNA evidence these days, more and more people on death row have been found to be innocent.

We should abolish the death penalty because it is cruel and unusual - not because of other countries think we should.
