Padre Peregrino – Death Penalty for Post-Aborts?

p/c Statesman Journal.Before I get to my answer, let me say I am no softie on abortion. I still try to pray and counsel at the abortion center every other week. I have been arrested for peaceful prayer inside abortion centers on the East Coast twice. But I am not as extreme as the “abolitionists” and a few Catholics who say that women who have had abortions should receive the Death Penalty.Do people really say such things? Yes. Although NPR is rarely to be trusted, they quoted a pro-life woman who stated this on that topic: “God values human life so highly that when one human chooses to murder another innocent human, they forfeit their own life. So I do support the death penalty for people who have had due process and been convicted of murder.”
