You’ll probably here a quote from this answer over and over again from last night’s debate…
Mike Huckabee was asked, “would Jesus support the death penalty?”
The clip you’ll probably hear is, “Jesus was to smart to never run for public office.”
But there’s a whole minute before that you probably won’t see due to time. As Gov. of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee is the only person running on the GOP ticket who’s ever had to give his signature to approve a death penalty and I don’t think he took his decision lightly.
There are those who say… how can you be pro life and believe in a death penalty, because there’s a real difference between the process of adjudication where a person is deemed guilty after a thorough judicial process, and is put to death by all of us as citizens under a law, as opposed to an individual making a decision to terminate a life that has never been deemed guilty because the life never was given the chance to even exist.
