New Jersey lawmakers are weighing legislation that would abolish the state’s death penalty. The prohibition on putting humans to death will not be extended to outlaw abortions, however.
Democratic Governor Jon Corzine, said he was confident the legislation would become law some time this summer. “It is barbaric that we would deliberately extinguish the life of another human being,” he said. “This cruel practice must end.”
Corzine rebuffed arguments that his unwavering support for abortion allows doctors to “deliberately extinguish the life of another human being.” “Abortions occur because these fetuses are unwanted,” Corzine said. “The same can’t be said for those on death row. Every one of them has someone, frequently a mother, begging for mercy for the condemned man. So, I’m not buying the so-called ‘moral equivalence’ argument against a woman’s right to an abortion. The two situations are as different as night and day.”
In support of his position, Corzine made reference to the New Jersey Death Penalty Study Commission finding that the death penalty was “inconsistent with evolving standards of decency.”

Supports abortion of the INNOCENT and supports exaltation of the perverted - HOMOSEXUALS.
Corzine is an evil limousine liberal.
“It is barbaric that we would deliberately extinguish the life of another human being,” he said. “This cruel practice must end.”
But it’s okay to take a baby about to be born or in the process of growing and methodically rip them apart, limb, by limb. They’ve done nothing wrong. They simply want to live.
OTOH criminals GUILTY beyond any reasonable doubt shouldn’t pay the ultimate punishment for EVIL CRIMES.
Come soon Lord and let these evil people have what they have sown.
Was reading Isaiah 63 this morning about when the Messiah returns, He is described as angry. Any reason He might be?
Just a tad angry ... .
He’s no humble, relative, Santa Claus as people would PREFER to believe. I wouldn’t want to be on His “bad side”.
