I created this blog after giving birth to my daughter Hope in 2011. After having a miscarriage in July 2010, we were blessed with our healthy baby girl just over a year later. Since her birth I have become a mother passionate about raising her in the healthiest and most natural way possible. I am passionate about natural childbirth, exclusive breastfeeding, organic whole foods, natural cleaning, skin care and cloth diapering. Read along and follow our journey of raising Hope! :)

The Death Penalty
So by now I would think you know that yes, I am a republican. In many ways I would absolutely say I am a conservative republican. There are a few issues that I usually go the other way in; such as the death penalty. I think this is a very out dated punishment in the legal system. I think it goes hand in hand with the "A" that people would have to wear if they committed adultery. Yes there are people out there that do terrible things, such as murder their wives, children, innocent people, and it is disgusting and wrong. We as a society should definitely have the right to get them put away for life; for reasons such as they cant be trusted in the outside world for they could do it again. Also prison is a terrible place, and living in your filth alone with no future, no privacy, and no freedom is the furthest we can go without being in-humane. I am not saying they deserve to be treated humanely but it is not up for us; as people to decide. Would you really want to carry the weight of someones death regardless of what they have done? I would like to see the death penalty go away. I think it is such an archaic way of punishment. And these people should live in the most minimal of circumstances and pay the price for what they did. We kill them, then we put them out of their misery, and I want them to live in their misery. God will take them when it is their time and I believe he will take care of the situation way more just and efficient than we can and more than we should have to.

Interesting take on it. I'm slightly torn on the subject.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm opposite.. I'm quite for the death penalty. Crime would drop so fast if they knew when you murdered someone or raped someone they would die for it. Reminds me of the OT kill by the sword die by the sword law.
My ONLY thing against it is... sometimes the person in prison didn't actually DO the crime they're accused of. And killing an innocent man for someone elses' crime is horrible.
But if there's solid proof, I would have to say, it's time to put fear back into the criminals and let them see they can't do what they want and just get by with it.
Just my two cents worth. ;)
death penalty good...jackie wrong, next topic.

I agree Jackie...as a pro-life person, I have a hard time being pro-death on any front...rNow, that said, I do think prisoners have it too easy and prison should be more of a deterrent than a chance to go hang out with the guys and do your time...like that prison in Arizona...Sheriff Joe I think it is...
