So you think there should be an all-around ban on abortion but you support execution? That does sound very pro-life to me. Criminals who are sentenced to death don't hit the chamber the next day. Often times it takes years even decades. These never-ending retrials and appeals is what is costing the taxpayers money. And it does cost a lot of money for an execution as well. This year a death row serial killer, Michael Ross, was executed on May 13. He was originally scheduled to be executed on January 26th, 2005. He dropped his appeals before his execution. His lawyers speculated he did this because "there is evidence that he may have
been driven to seek his own execution as a symptom of the psychological impact of being subjected to the harshness of death row conditions for years." He was on death row for 17 years.
