People get the death penalty who are innocent.
They die, knowing they are innocent.
People who claim to be "pro-life" and who support the death penalty are frauds.
The ones who really have some explaining to do, are those who oppose the death penalty for the very worst of violent, murderous criminals, but who support the
“right” to kill innocent unborn children in cold blood.
Supporting abortion in any form leaves you with no moral standing whatsoever to criticize support for the judicial death penalty.
In fact, supporting or defending abortion leaves you with no moral standing, whatsoever. Period.
