“Pro life”
The unalienable right of life too.
I remember someone on reddit had a very, very long list of Republicans doing something sexual with minors or towards minors (like driving to a school and jacking off). So, can we expect some friendly fire here?
No. Laws are only there to oppress the opposition.
it’s all about the punishment with these people. who gets punished, and how badly
Unless you’re a president!
You Republicans really think you want to start executing sex criminals?
1250 names as of February 2nd.
Death penalty isn’t necessary at all anymore, as there isn’t any risk to society in keeping them imprisoned. In the past we were sometimes forced to execute because there weren’t viable long term prisons. That’s the only legitimate need for the death penalty to exist in my opinion.
I can’t imagine it works as a deterrent given the psychopathic nature of these crimes.
I suppose it could bring some kind of peace to a victim of aggravated rape, that their rapist had paid the ultimate price so that would be nice. I’m not sure it works that way though or if it’s a healthy coping mechanism.
Overall it feels like it should be a relic of the past.
There’s not enough evidence to prove that it is a deterrent.

However, I would suggest the fact that there are still plenty of murders in the U.S., especially when compared to many countries without capital punishment, shows that it isn’t one that works all that well.

People aren’t thinking about consequences when they commit murder, so it doesn’t really matter how severe they are.
Ooooof course they are.
Republicans playing God. No news.
