Group has no stance on death penalty

To the editor:

With the repeal of the death penalty we have been asked if we take a position on that issue.

Since its inception in 1973, National Right to Life and its 50 state affiliates, of which we are one, has had a single issue focus. Our mission is to gather as many people together from all walks of life to work to restore legal protection to innocent human life from conception through death.

That does not include a position on the death penalty or any other unrelated issues.

We welcome people on both sides of the death penalty debate to join us in working to protect innocent life at risk of death from abortion and euthanasia.
