The Washington Examiner reported on Conservatives Concerned about the Death Penalty following an interview with National Advocacy Coordinator, Heather Beaudoin. The author, Stephen Thomas, said,
The death penalty has long since been a very polarizing part of America’s political past and present. Conservatives have long since been considered to be unanimously in favor of the death penalty. Not anymore.
Conservatives Concerned About The Death Penalty (CCATDP) is a growing group of social and political conservatives who no longer believe that capital punishment and conservative principles align.
He went on to say,
The death penalty is a political issue; but also a faith issue. With regards to the death penalty; CCATDP evangelical leader Jay Sekulow stated the following: “Who among anyone is not above redemption? I think we have to be careful in executing final judgment. I think (the death penalty) it short cuts the entire redemptive process.”
