I'm glad President Obama is ordering a policy review on the death penalty. I hope it leads to a shift away from capital punishment in the U.S. I hope every state puts executions on hold, and I hope every state eventually ends the practice of it. I could support a U.S. Constitutional Amendment banning it. It's done.
If you're curious as to why I changed my mind, I encourage you to read this article from a recent issue of The Economist. I found it quite convincing.
That is all for now.

Yes. Absolutely.
But there are those who say that anti-abortion and anti-death penalty go hand-in-hand. While I think abortion is an unfortunate decision, I believe in a woman's right to choose. Really complicated.
