Nebraska is going to get rid of the Death Penalty

They have a veto proof majority

They will become the 19th state to abolish the practice. The practice had been declared unconstitutional by the Nebraska Supreme Court in 2008, but the legislature has since made lethal injection legal. This would revoke that law.

Congrats to Nebraska!

I would love to see a concerted push to abolish the practice in California, New Hampshire, Oregon and Washington. California 4% away from doing in 2012. An effort in 2016 could work. The rest seem like low hanging fruit.

I think it's time to get rid of the death penalty for the unborn.

Problem is the unborn isn't a human until it pops out or at the very very least reaches the 3rd trimester.

What a vile remark, an affront to both science and humanity.

Says someone who supports state executions.

So this makes the map:

Red = abolished
Blue = in use
Green = moratorium or not used

Now we just need to work on turning those green states red.
