“When Death Is on the Docket, the Moral Compass Wavers”

This piece begins by bemoaning the fact that the executioners of capital offenders often have Christian convictions that are at war with what they do. The only way they can get through their job is to morally distance themselves and justify the act of killing a vicious criminal.
Too bad the New York Times couldn’t recognize the moral distancing of the Supreme Court that justified Roe v. Wade, or its own distancing of itself from the execution of the innocent unborn.
