Stop the Death Penalty
It really baffles me that the death penalty still exists. Especially in, supposedly, civilized countries like the United States. As horrible as Saddam Hussein crimes were .. I am 100% against the act of murdering another human being.
PORTUGAL abolished the death penalty for all crimes in 1976!!! and Argentina the country I am living in abolished it in 1984. Philippines abolished the death penalty for all crimes in June 2006
I find this image absolutely disgusting.
