1 About the Death Penalty The death penalty is a sentence given to those who have committed a capital crime, such as murder. Not all states provide the death penalty, much of the death penalty is paid for by tax payers. In some states there is an age requirement in order to apply the death penalty.

2 Pro Life Pro life is any person who is against the death penalty. To be pro life means you believe that everyone has the right to live regardless whether imprisoned or free.

3 Pro Life Tax Regardless whether pro life or pro death, money is taken from the tax payers to fund the death penalty in states where it is still allowed. Those who are pro life do not have much of a choice where their tax money is spent

4 Why Pro Life? The death penalty does go against many religious beliefs, because it is considered inhumane to lethally kill another human being in America. The death penalty is also traumatizing to the family of the executioner, the victim, and the jury. Causing sickness and long-term effects.

5 Cons about the Death Penalty Maryland became the latest state to outlaw capital punishment. Cost more to give the capital punishment than to sentence life in prison. The executioner may be exonerated, if it is not to late.
