Well,as many of you know, the Supreme Court has ruled that the death penalty cannot be used in cases of child rape. They say that this constitutes cruel and unusual punishment and that the death penalty can only be used in cases of murder, which is when someone’s life is taken. I know, we all know that, but follow me here.

When a man, or woman for that matter, rapes a child, that child’s life is essentially taken away. They go from being normal happy children without a care in the world, to children who are afraid to be close to anyone. They go into counseling that may or may not help them. They turn into adults that in many cases cannot have relationships and marriages because they are afraid to get close to another man or woman.

Then we have people like Massachusettes Representative James Fagan making remarks like those found here. Folks these are the kind of comments that have no place in our federal goverment buildings. These are the types of comments that say we need to get these defense attorneys out of positions where they make laws.

If you think that I am wrong thats your opinion. But I hope that it is not your daughter or son next time that is a victim of child rape that is so heinous, you feel it needs the death penalty but that is not an option anymore.
