I used to support the death penalty but my views on it have changed. It's hard for me in this situation though because I feel like Paul Hill should be punished for killing the doctor and his bodyguard. IMO there is no justification for these murders.
I almost feel inclined to say that I can't wait until he is executed. It's sickening how some of pro-life supporters feel that killing abortion doctors is ok, when they are against the killing of a fetus. Man, fetus, life or death, it makes no sense to me. Notice I also said "some" because I know that Paul Hill doesn't express the views of all pro-life activists.
Now you might be able to see the bigger issues(s) with this case.
On one side you have pro-choice liberals that are against the death penalty who may or may not support the execution of Paul Hill depending on what issue they feel stronger about.
On the other side you have pro-life conservatives who are in support of the death penalty, possibly not wanting this man to die because he killed for the "pro-life" cause.
There are so many bigger issues, it's insane.
