WASHINGTON
For decades, abortion rights advocates have disparaged conservatives who support the death penalty but call themselves "pro-life," saying they are simply “pro-birth.” But since 2012, not only has Republican support for capital punishment been waning, but conservatives have increasingly called for its repeal, according to a new study by a right-leaning group.

Thirty-one states, mainly located in the South, Midwest and West, currently allow people found guilty of certain crimes to be put to death.

I have never been a Catholic, and I don't necessarily share all of their views.

But I credit them for being consistent in their reverence for human life.

Can someone explain to me how an article that doesn't even have the word "California" in it is posted in the California state section?

I would like to posit that the person running this section is doing a lackluster job of keeping it under control..

I have no respect for people who are mass muderers and rapists.
