Lethal injections for killers is cruel and unusual punishment, but when it happens to unborn babies it is a woman’s right to choose?
I read about this story, which has gone relatively unreported by the media, at Bunkerville and Political Realities and it sickens me every time I think about it. I do not write that often about abortion but this story really bothers me and I cannot remain silent.
The New York legislature is debating a bill called the ‘Women’s Equality Act’ which would legalize late-term abortions, including the procedure of giving a lethal injection into the beating heart of an unborn baby which would be viable outside the womb. We can debate the issue of when the unborn is a baby and when it is simply an unwanted clump of tissue, as the left likes to call the unborn, but this goes well beyond that point in my opinion.
Here is more:
In abortions that take place later in pregnancy, which would be legalized in New York by the abortion-expanding Women’s Equality Act, often babies are killed by sliding a needle filled with a chemical agent, such as digoxin, into the beating heart, before being delivered.
Here is what I cannot wrap my tiny little brain around: many on the left oppose the death penalty and when killers are to be executed by lethal injection they oppose it based on the 8th amendment and its protection against cruel and unusual punishment while not taking into account the cruel and unusual punishment the killers inflicted upon their victims.
How many people who support this legislation are opposed to lethal injection when it comes to convicted killers? Are not unborn babies, who have done nothing to deserve the death penalty, also protected under the 8th amendment? Is this not also cruel and unusual punishment? The punishment is the same but the crime–killing another human being versus simply being unwanted–is not comparable.
The Declaration of Independence, which goes hand in hand with the Constitution, clearly states that all people are CREATED (not born) with unalienable rights; including the right to LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It seems to me that if this legislation passes these babies will be denied all three…..

You are welcome Larry, this is one of those stories that just turns my stomach. How can a civilized society justify this?

I wasn’t aware that there are people who tolerate capital punishment but oppose lethal injections – I think the point of the recent controversy over lethal injections is that they don’t work as advertised.
What bothers me is that so many people have died of accidental drug overdoses – why do we have such a hard time administering one on purpose?
I disagree with the idea that state-administered executions should be painful to inflict on the dcondemned some of the pain s/he inflicted on the victim and others. That smacks of revenge, which is not ours to extract. But executions should be swift, certain, and as pain-free as possible.
Take good care and may God bless us all.

I think you misunderstood what I wrote; I did not say that people who are for the death penalty are opposed to lethal injections. I pointed out that many on the left oppose the death penalty and then stated why they oppose lethal injection. The first part of the statement was meant generally while the second part of the statement listed a particular form of the death penalty. I chose this form of the death penalty because it is the one most in practice today and it was relevant to the story in New York about lethal injections being debated for late term abortions.
And I never said that the death penalty should be painful to inflict, I was not one of those who laughed about the recent botched execution.
