Abby Johnson; Prolife Activist, CEO of And Then There Were None & ProLove Ministries, Best-Selling Author “As a Pro Life advocate I have serious concerns about the protection of life from the womb to natural death. As a conservative who believes our government has been infiltrated by widespread government corruption. I find it impossible for them to make life and death judgments against any human person. I believe in fair consequences for our actions, I believe in justice, I do not believe that justice ever equals state sanctioned death. This is why I believe all conservatives should be concerned about the death penalty.”
Kristin Hawkins, President of Students for Life of America: “Opposing the death penalty does not mean being soft on crime. Murder deserves serious punishment. Violent criminals must be removed from society. Life imprisonment protects society without killing. Being pro-life doesn’t mean criminals go free — it means we punish without becoming killers ourselves.” (Via substack)
Lila Rose, President & Founder of Live Action: “No civilized nation needs the death penalty…the death penalty costs more than a life in prison sentence. There’s also proven errors and we have executed innocent people. Due process is expensive when you’re dealing with the ultimate and irreversible penalty.” (via X)
Jeff Charles; Journalist & Political Commentator: “The reason why we should abolish the death penalty is clear: Since the government cannot guarantee that it will not execute innocent people, capital punishment should be abolished. Upholding a policy that kills those who are undeserving is the opposite of pro-life.”
Savannah Craven, Pro-Life advocate and host of Her Patriot Voice: “ I oppose the death penalty because I follow a consistent life ethic. As a Catholic who is also vegetarian and anti-abortion, I do not believe in playing God by ending another human life. Sentencing someone to death is incompatible with modern standards of justice.”
Lauren Pope; Executive Director of Rehumanize International: “As pro-lifers who believe in the dignity of every human life, we recognize that committing a crime does not strip a person of their humanity. We also share the conviction of groups like Conservatives Concerned, who understand the limits of government and reject handing the state ultimate power over life and death, especially when more than 200 innocent people have been sentenced to die.”
Whitley Yates; Executive Director of the Leadership in Liberty Institute, Former Director of Diversity for the Indiana GOP: “I believe being pro life means from womb to tomb. We should not defend life at its most innocent only to abandon it when it becomes inconvenient.”
Christal Martin, a family member of a murder victim: “To be truly pro-life is to believe that human dignity is not a reward for good behavior, nor a privilege granted at birth, but an inherent light that no hand of man has the authority to extinguish. If we are to protect life where it is most vulnerable, we must also refuse to destroy it where it is most broken; for a society is defined not by how it judges its worst, but by how deeply it honors the sanctity of existence itself.”
