I cannot justify saying I'm antiabortion (in most cases) yet predominately pro death penalty... I just feel that in most cases people who commit hanous crimes of rage have been handed their fate. Although we can sentence them to death, I feel that God will punish their souls worse than we could.
Besides... in most instances the way the prisoner is executed is far more humane than the way their victims died. Not to mention most buy time with numerous appeals.
I try to consider myself a humanitarian, yet something bothers me about paying money to keep a horrible person alive in a prision cell where he can further educate himself and have some small luxuries.
This is just my opinion.
