‘Catholic’ Biden Supports Death Penalty For Unwanted Unborn But Not For Convicted Murderers:
President Joe Biden’s handlers want you to believe he values life.
Just a few days before Christmas, the White House announced, through an online written statement, that all but three people on federal death row will have their sentences commuted from a death sentence to life without the possibility of parole. The move saves the lives of 37 of the 40 prolific killers facing the federal death penalty, freeing them from unsettling thoughts about their last day at the hands of an execution team.
Biden is on a high-profile virtue-signaling roll. Last week Biden had a phone call with Pope Francis “to discuss efforts to advance peace around the world during the holiday season,” the White House handlers wrote in a statement, conspicuously leaving out the Christ-based name of the holiday: Christmas. “The President thanked the Pope for his continued advocacy to alleviate global suffering, including his work to advance human rights and protect religious freedoms. President Biden also graciously accepted His Holiness Pope Francis’s invitation to visit the Vatican next month.”
But we know Biden does not care about human rights. He has worked to expand abortion access.
Just last month in the White House, he awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, to Cecile Richards, former president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund. During her period of leadership (2006 to 2018), more than 13.3 million unborn babies were killed in the United States, as The Federalist previously reported. Richards earned $500,000 a year and facilitated more deaths than there were in the Holocaust.
Killing voiceless, innocent babies does not stir Biden’s conscience, but killing killers does.
“Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss,” read Biden’s four-paragraph online statement (which was coherent and thus likely prepared by a staff member). According to the statement, the decision to commute these death sentences was “guided by [Biden’s] conscience,” and he is “more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level.” —>READ MORE HERE
Biden’s Death-Penalty Commutations Are a Moral Outrage:
The decision shows he’s more beholden to pro-crime groups than to the public.
In the latest in a series of shameful closing acts, President Joe Biden on Sunday night commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 murderers on federal death row.
Biden’s midnight decision spared the lives of all but the three most notorious capital inmates: the Tree of Life Synagogue shooter, the Emmanuel AME Church shooter, and the surviving Boston Marathon bomber.
In his statement on the commutations, Biden said he was “more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level.” It’s clear, then, that he only stopped short of a blanket commutation because of the backlash that would have come with pardoning these three mass murderers.
Make no mistake: Biden’s choice to spare the remaining 37 murderers is a moral travesty. In so doing, the lame duck president has once again shown that he is more beholden to progressive dogmas than to the pursuit of justice.
That’s obvious when you look at the killers Biden spared. Take Daniel Troya and Ricardo Sanchez, Jr., who murdered a family of four in cold blood, including three-year-old Luis Damian Escobedo and four-year-old Luis Julian Escobedo. Or consider Jorge Avila-Torrez, who murdered eight-year-old Laura Hobbs and nine-year-old Krystal Tobias in 2005. Avila-Torrez then joined the Marines, strangled U.S. Navy petty officer Amanda Jean Snell to death, and abducted and assaulted two more women before finally being apprehended.
Nine of those with commuted sentences were on death row for killing other people in prison. If capital punishment is not an option for such offenses, then there is no deterrence for prison homicides—and therefore no guarantee of safety for the incarcerated.
Just because these cases were not high-profile does not mean that the crimes were not monstrous. The death penalty is handed out sparingly in the United States; in 2023, just 21 new capital sentences were imposed nationwide. When it is applied, it’s done for important reasons. —>READ MORE HERE
