    A number of countries introduced a UN resolution - not against death penalty in toto, but opposing execution of children, pregnant women, and the mentally disabled, as well as opposing death penalty for such "crimes" as apostasy, blasphemy, consenting adultery, and consenting same sex relations.

    The U.S. joined with Saudi Arabia, China, and ten other countries in opposition.

    Because nothing says "pro life" like executing pregnant women!

    This administration agrees with those who say their religious freedom is violated by gay people getting married and women using birth control. In some countries people are executed for religious dissent. That, apparently, is OK. Just don't make someone bake a cake for gay couples!

    The administration says that it opposed the resolution because it was overly broad and could be interpreted as being against the types of capital punishment allowed in this country, not because it supports the death penalty for the "crimes" you list.

    I was interested to know why she thinks pregnant women AND HCP should be exempt from executions.

    Did they vote on these things one at a time?

    If they did we'd know who Trump wants to off.

    Wait, you guys actually think it would be perfectly fine to execute a pregnant woman?

    Sure, just a little bundle of tissue. How pregnant?

    Let's pick a number.

    There's lots of exceptions to this. I'm just going off the info she provided.

    Is a 16 year old who kills his whole family and eats them eligible?

    If a woman had been involved in the Mandalay Bay shooting the other night and spent 10 years on death row and got knocked up one week prior to execution would that be a way to get out of it?

    If I cloned HCP and stuck him in a surrogate mom on death row would that be two strikes against us if we executed her?

    A woman who gets pregnant is prison means she was raped. If that were to happen they would wait for to give birth and then proceed with the execution.

    When you use the word fact for things that aren't facts it dilutes the word fact.

    Put aside the obvious although miniscule chance the wicked woman being put to death rapes a guard, I can think of another way that wouldn't be rape.

    There is no consensual sex in jail or prison between staff and prisoner. If if the prisoner begs for it, it is not consensual.

    On death row a prisoner wouldn't have the ability to assault a guard long enough to have sex.

    People smuggle drugs in, guards take money for it. You don't think there's a chance her boyfriend could payoff a guard for a half hour alone?

    Facts are things that are 100 percent true.
