Letter to the editor: Biden against death penalty but not abortion?

The article “Biden team targets executions as government sets 3 more” (Nov. 22) stated that President-elect Joe Biden is against the death penalty. Does he want to coddle prisoners who were found guilty of heinous crimes such as torture, sexual abuse and murder? Three federal executions are scheduled to take place before the presidential inauguration; those three prisoners will be on the taxpayers’ bill for as long as they live if Biden and company get their way.

But what about Biden’s opinion on killing the babies who have done nothing wrong except to exist in their mothers’ bodies? He approves of that. Is that such a crime? Grave enough to approve of aborting them if their mothers find it “inconvenient” to carry and birth them?

And Biden wants to govern me? Maybe he and his team will decide I am expendable also, with no crime intended.

Just like the unborn.
