        Yes because comparing a murderer to an unborn child makes so much sense.

        Do I remember correctly; Arkansas ordered a rush job to kill a total of 8 DR inmates bc the injectables were going to expire? WTF?!?

        #Gorsuch is so pro-life that his first vote was to kill a man. #SCOTUS

        I'm anti death penalty, but in Arkansas it is the law, that was the sentence... the court upheld the law... change the law if you disagree

        It's NOT a law to rush death b/c a drug is expiring. Why not wait till DNA comes back first?

        Again if you don't agree with the system of law, change it. My point stands that SCOTUS upheld the law.

        Rushed executions because their **alprazolam was expiring**. Wow. Makers of all the drugs used have protested & refused to sell more to them

        @MelindaStJohn It's midazolam. And it's like a giant Valium. And it's not the lethal drug used. It just makes them relax

        Whoops, wrong benzodiazepine, my mistake. And you absolutely can OD on benzos, in this case it's used for sedation

        No,not unless you have comorbidities or used in conjunction w/narcotics It's the potassium they give that's lethal

        Ya, you wouldn't want to wait until a DNA test could show 100% confidence in guilt or innocence. No time.

        I never understand bereaved families who just want someone dead to make thing right. You at least want actual killer dead - no?

        To be fair to #Gorsuch, he DID ask what color the inmate was before he voted.
