Biden Is the First President to Openly Oppose the Death Penalty

[DemocratSinceBirth]

President Joseph Biden is the first occupant of the Oval Office in American history to openly and publicly oppose the death penalty and advocate its abolition.

That is a remarkable sign of how much the national conversation about capital punishment has changed over the last several decades. Just think back to the 1988 presidential campaign, when former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis’ abolitionist stance almost single-handedly sank his bid.

1. He has the power to commute to life in prison without parole for federal death penalty sentences.

I have no problem if he does it.

2. Death Penalty is barbaric

3. I believe in a culture of life from womb to the tomb.

This leads me to oppose abortion, euthanasia, the death penalty, and unjust war. I also believe “over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign." This creates tension. For myself, the default position is always life.

4. It's about time we had a President who is against legalized murder.

I keep on wanting to ask those who support it and consider themselves Christians, what part of "Thou shalt not kill" is ambiguous?

5. Is tar and feathering, keel hawling still ok?

6. Fight for life!
