Abolish the Death Penalty: Mission Accomplished

[Mike Thick]

"It's time we send the death penalty to the electric chair."

Seriously, I fully and enthusiastically support this. It shouldn't be up to men to make such a permanent and irreversible judgement.

Not only that, it actually costs more to execute criminals than it does to sentence them to life-in-prison (due to the costs of mandatory appeals and other safeguards). There is literally no rational argument, moral or fiscal, in favor of maintaining the death penalty.

That is a lie. There is a moral arguement which is stated as a Commandment of the LORD in Exodus 21: 23-25 which states "But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.

This is a secular government, and although I am a Catholic I don't think we should be making our policy based on the Bible. And if we're going to, what tmth said.
