    The death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment. It is applied disproportionately to people of color. It has been proven not to deter violent crime. The United States must join almost every other advanced country on Earth and abolish the death penalty.

        You talk about the death penalty being applied disproportionately to people of color (convicted of murder) yet you are one of Planned Parenthood’s biggest supporters. Because of PP, an innocent black baby has the same chance of being born as aborted. What a double standard!

        Often the death penalty is much more expensive, and even if given the penalty, it can take years if not decades for it to be done.

        death penalty always applied disproportionately. but, if some one deliberately kills me, I want them killed in the most inhumane way. why should they enjoy what they have taken from me?

        #Abortion is cruel and unusual punishment. It is applied disproportionately to people of color. If #Black Women represent 7% of the population yet they have 40% of abortions is that not #BlackGenocide?pic.twitter.com/tAjoAmoWN5

        Taxing the producers and giving to the non producers is cruel and unusual punishment
