Death+Penalty+-+Paul

="Over the years I've held pretty rigid to all my beliefs,= =but I've changed my opinion of the death penalty."=



Ron Paul opposes the death penalty in all cases. He would vote against it in any legislative body he was a member of. Paul praises the Pope John Paul II for being an "//eloquent and consistent advocate for an ethnic of life, exemplified by his struggles against abortion, war, euthanasia and the death penalty//."

//"For federal purposes, I no longer believe in the death penalty. I believe it has been issued unjustly. If you're rich, you get away with it; if you're poor and you're from the inner city, you're more likely to be prosecuted and convicted. Today, with DNA evidence, there have been too many mistakes. So I am now opposed to the federal death penalty."//
