They'll go to any extremes to get their way.

Taylor is on death row for raping and killing 15-year-old Ann Harrison after abducting her from a Kansas City school bus stop in 1989

So Taylor's attorney goes to court and to stop the pharmacy that prepares the injection from providing it to the state. What about the verdict of a jury of one's peers? And the extensive appeals process? To hell with legal precedence of process – find another way.

It's against their moral convictions to give drugs that stop someone's life.

For some one who supports providers not supplying abortions due to moral convictions, this is an awful odd thread.

From the article...

Taylor is on death row for raping and killing 15-year-old Ann Harrison after abducting her from a Kansas City school bus stop in 1989. Another man also is on death row for the crime.

Taylor was hours away from execution in 2006 when the U.S. Supreme Court granted a stay over concerns about whether the state’s three-drug method could violate the constitutional guarantee against cruel and unusual punishment.



Raping and killing a 15 year old - sounds like cruel and unusual punishment to someone INNOCENT of committing a crime - but that's what this 15 year old girl received.

Injecting a needle in someone guilty of ending someone else's life is considered cruel and unusual. Would it be considered cruel if he was judged to die in the same manner as the 15 year old girl?

Bring back the rope with a 6' drop.

Of course purchase the Made in China rope so maybe the lawyers can go to Peking and sue the manufacturer there?

And how odd is it to not be able to tell the difference between a convicted murderer and an innocent, unborn child?

Very odd.

If people champion that choices to provide goods or services based on moral convictions, no matter what that moral conviction is, I don't see where we get to judge and tell others what their moral convictions should be. If it's against a person's moral convictions to help in the death of another, no matter what they have done, that is their choice.

Championing the ability to make moral choices, and then say it only applies to abortion, is so transparent it's silly.

Pay a homeless person ten bucks to do it. What can they sue him for his bed roll or shopping cart?
