First, this is a State's right issue.

Second, punishment should fit the crime.

Third, equating an unborn child to a person who deprived a person of his or her rights is intellectually dishonest.

Fourth, society must send the murderer to the same place he or she sent the victim, judgment before God. Big huge difference between killing and murder.

First, this is a State's right issue.

I agree 100%, as long as the state satisfies due process and the other protections guaranteed under the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 14th Amendments. Just because I am anti-death penalty doesn't mean that I agree with the SCOTUS decision. The constitutionally proscribed method for changing bad laws that are otherwise constitutional is not judical nullification of the law through twisted reasoning, but rather petitioning the state legislature for change or formally amending the constitution using the method set forth therein.
