Ohio - Kasich commutes death sentence

[Mister D]

I am against the death penalty for the same reason that I am against abortion -- it is the taking of a life.

I perceive the two differently just as the Church has for most of her history. That said, I don't support the death penalty because of the potential for error.

I agree with this.

I agree with this.

I respect both of your opinions. Thanks for responding and for reminding me of my shortsightedness. I should've said that I oppose the death penalty for (among other reasons) the same reason I oppose abortion. My primary reason is b/c it's the taking of a life but there's several other valid reasons.

Abortion is the taking of an innocent life, a life that didn't even get to have a say......executing a person who killed one, of more people is......justice.....I'm not for supporting murderers for life, with my tax dollars.
