Is the Church Against Abortion and the Death Penalty?

I think it ought to be up to the taxpayers of NJ. Nobody has asked me how I feel about it and I live here. I want to know why it costs more to kill them, that makes no sense to me at all. If they live a long life doesn’t that cost more? Shaking my head again...~P~

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Leftists hate death for convicted murderers, but love it for babies, the elderly, the infirm, those on life support.

[Sleeping Beauty]

The United States is one of the last Christian, civilized, Western nations to still allow state-sanctioned murder.

It is sort of a crude and brutal practice for a Christian nation.

[MEGoody]

New Jersey is set to consider becoming the first state to abolish the death penalty legislatively since capital punishment was reinstated 31 years ago.

Look for all the murderers to run to New Jersey, because they won't expect NJ to extradite them to a state that has the death penalty.

One could argue against capital punishment on the basis of economics. The problem here is that life rarely means life without parole.

[Cicero]

The only reason the death penalty has become so expensive to the taxpayers is liberal judges and lawyers.

It costs a small fortune to imprison someone for a lifetime. Putting a really bad killer to death SHOULD be much cheaper. It only costs more because you inevitably end up housing murderers for 10, 15, or 20 years while they go through the appeal process, with public defenders who are subsidized on the taxpayer’s dime.

In an earlier time in America, before the liberals took charge, the process was far cheaper and more expeditious.

[Cobra64]

The state has nine men on death row, but hasn't executed anyone since 1963.

Slow day at the office for these NJ legislators.
