Some Perspective on the Culture of Death
"'Let's do it.' With those last words, convicted killer Gary Gilmore ushered in the modern era of capital punishment in the United States, an age of busy death chambers that will likely see its 1,000th execution in the coming days:" U.S. Nears 1,000th Execution Since 1977.

If America's death chambers are "busy," her abortuaries are operating at a breakneck speed rivaling Nazi efficiency during the peak years of the Final Solution.

45,951,133 babies have been aborted since in the US 1973, according to this site: Abortion in the United States. With one abortion every 24 seconds, it takes 6 hrs. 40 min. for America's abortuaries to produce the number of corpses that America's death chambers have produced in 28 years. America's abortion industry is outperforming the judicial system by an average annual ratio of 40223:1!

Serge's thoughts On the death penalty and abortion are similar to my own:
    [The death penalty] should be exceedingly rare, the near-seamless garment position of this blog, different from pro-abortion cant — ‘safe, legal and rare’ — because there isn’t moral equivalence between an unrepentant murderer and an ‘inconvenient’ baby[.]
