7 November 2011 Pro-Death Penalty
The death penalty. Have we given much thought about it lately? I can honestly say that it was not at the top of my conversation list of things to think about today. I’m going to school to become a registered nurse, and people want to know how I can be Pro-Death if I’m part of saving lives. So, I tell them I am Pro-Death Penalty, due to the fact that there are millions of people out there every day taking away our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

A person committing a crime of aggravated murder should not be allowed to spend more than two years waiting an execution date; the punishment should be carried out as swiftly as the life they took away. No family should have to be reminded needlessly, that their loved one was brutally taken from them in any way other than by life’s own
