Holistic Pro-Life Encompasses Repeal of the Death Penalty
At the heart of the pro-life movement lies a fundamental belief in the sanctity of human
life.Those of us who are pro-life advocate for the protection and preservation of life from
conception to natural death. While the pro-life movement traditionally focuses on issues
such as abortion, euthanasia, and healthcare, but the inclusion of the death
penalty within this framework offers a more holistic understanding of what it means to
champion the value of every human life.
The death penalty, with its irreversible and final nature, stands in stark contrast to the
principles of mercy, redemption, and second chances that underpin the pro-life ethos.
By recognizing the inherent dignity of every individual, even those convicted of heinous
crimes, we are called to uphold a vision of justice that seeks alternatives to retribution
and violence. We can do this without compromising safety or justice and still ensuring
accountability.
