Late-Term Abortion Advocate Democrat Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam Presses to Abolish Death PenaltyPenny Starr 15 Jan 2021
Democrat Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, who has advanced late-term abortion even up to birth, said in his state of the Commonwealth speech earlier this week that the death penalty needs to be abolished.
“But when we all agree that a crime deserves the strongest punishment we can give, it’s still vital to make sure our criminal justice system operates fairly and punishes people equitably,†Northam said in his prepared remarks.
“We know the death penalty doesn’t do that,†Northam said. “But make no mistake—if you commit the most heinous crimes, you should spend the rest of your days in prison.â€
He then went on to compare the United States to China and Iran.
“Over that time, most countries in the world have turned away from capital punishment. So what parts of the world continue to use capital punishment?†Northam said. “Here’s a list, in order: China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Egypt, and the United States.â€
“We’re taking these actions because we value people, and because we believe in treating people equitably,†Northam said.
