Should George Tiller's killer receive the death penalty?

[they don't love you like i love you]

No/pro-choice

[Mint]

Yes (Pro-Choice)

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Yes (Pro-Choice)

[Keystone Phil]

Yes - Against abortion/Pro Life

[Marokai Backbeat]

No/pro-choice

[Tetro Kornbluth]

"Pro-Choice" must the most ridiculous and utterly vacuous political label in the history of the Multitudinous Multiverse, well other than "pro-life" obviously.

This is a clear case of pre-meditated murder.  If any murder is to be punished with the death penalty, this one clearly should be.

[Sam Spade]

Of course.  Tiller should have also (we don't have to worry about that anymore).

[RIP Robert H Bork]

Of course.  Tiller should have also.

[Scam of God]

No/Pro-choice

[Magic 8-Ball]

Yes/Pro-choice

[Ronnie]

Of course.  Tiller should have also.

No, although the irony of it is compelling.

/not comfortable with the state executing people

[Scam of God]

To whit: the State ought not have a jurisdiction over life and death. The next person who supports the death penalty and then demands that we drown the government in a bathtub ought to have his teeth pulled less the benefit of Novocain.

[Tonberry]

I'm not pro-choice, but I'm closer to pro-choice than I am to pro-life, so I picked that label when I voted. I am opposed to the death penalty, though, so the real question is answered. The killer is a threat to society, but he does not deserve to be killed.

I don't think there is a bathtub large enough to drown the government in.

[TeePee4Prez]

Yes (Pro-Choice)

We'd have to get to outsource it to China, not a surprise

No/Pro-life.

There is no crime that justifies another. The end result of a life taken at the hands of the state and a life taken at the hands of a murderer and a life taken at the hands of an abortion doctor is the same. There is no crime that supercedes the act of ending a life, no matter the conditions.

In sentencing this man to death, we are arbitrarily proclaiming to know the future, and the future is this: no matter what this man were to ever do, no matter what this man were to ever say, no matter what this man were to ever feel, no matter what this man were to ever atone for, he is always and forever the sum of less than human, and that as such, we, permanently above this man, can remove him from our world with all the callousness of an act that he once did himself. We are proclaiming that there can be no forgiveness, no atonement and that his life is nothing more than one instant of evil.

There should be harsh punishment for the killing, but not death. We are only killing ourselves with his execution, scarring out the soul of humanity reproached corpse by reproached corpse.

[Lief 🗽]

I'm generally opposed to the death penalty, but in instances of terrorism or mass murder (this case being the former), I'd be open to it.

The killer is probably certifiably insane, though.

[ChrisJG777]

I'd consider myself "Pro-Choice" and no I do not thing the killer should be executed.  Regardless of the nature of his offence, I believe that Capital Punishment is never the right way to go.

Yep....you described my feelings pretty well
