Re “US bishops urge Trump, Barr to stop upcoming federal executions,” Dec. 3, 2020:
Trump garnered many Catholic votes because of his stance on abortion. However, in 2020, he has supported the execution of 10 inmates in federal prisons, with at least four more scheduled, before he leaves office. One woman is included in the latter number. No female has been executed since 1953, and no federal executions have been conducted since 2003. It appears that Trump’s view of “the right to life” is selective. Equality and justice are definitely not served.
