I'm in favor of capital punishment being on the table for any crime in which the victim would have been justified resisting with lethal force; certainly, this would include rape.

Not objecting ... merely observing.

Yup.
Historically, according to the common law, the three crimes which were death penalty offenses were:
Kidnapping
First degree (premeditated) murder
Rape
People who perform these acts and commit these crimes have already shown themselves to be violent, and having no regrets about it.
We would have no problem shooting a rabid dog...
