Letter to the editor: Killers & the unborn

A recent Sunday edition of the Trib had a headline stating, “Push to repeal death penalty emerges in Pa.” For a split second I thought there might be an effort to outlaw abortion and save the unborn children from the death penalty. However, when I returned to reality, I saw the article was talking about sparing the lives of those national treasures, the hundreds of killers on death row.

While the Wolf/Fetterman team is all for killing innocent children in the womb, they are able to find some good in the scum who have killed and maimed hundreds of fellow Pennsylvanians.

How can any sane society allow the Bowers, Poploskis, Baumhammers and other vile killers live and yet snuff out the lives of the unborn?

These human animals cost us millions of tax dollars every year while the thousands of families that have suffered the results of their crimes have no closure and still have to pay for their keep.

Taking the death penalty off the table will only make future killers more vicious, as they have no fear of death. A society that harbors the guilty and kills the innocent is one that is on the brink of extinction.

When talking about abortion, many who are against it will say “except in cases of rape and incest.” My thought is if someone has to die, let it be the rapist or the one who committed the incest and not the innocent child.
