That is, propose that since the left wants suicide for good people, why not make it an option for hardened criminals?
Guaranteed the left would freak out at the idea.
Each life term, death row, or very long term prisoner would be given the offer to swallow an extra strength Fentanyl pill.
It would definitely make the left back off for while.
