Meet Old Sparky, the Florida electric chair that sent Ted Bundy to meet his Maker in 1989 for killing 2 young women, though he killed many more. Then we went to lethal injection. Now the Parkland killer of 17 gets life – in prison, but life. Meanwhile, many of the same people who abhor the death penalty favor aborting 900K babies a year.

This is how we show respect for life? Dismember the innocent but feed and clothe the guilty? Squander our sympathy on those who destroy human lives? What conceivable philosophical or religious system could justify such inverted logic, such perverted compassion? What kind of people are we?
