death row

A very honest and thought provoking speech. I only hope the voters in Oregon applaud him for this and the death penalty gets abolished completely in time.

Here in western countries if you jobless and left your partner. you can go to family/friends or claim council emergency accommodation. within couple of hours you would have roof on top of your head and money to buy food.
But its not same at other places.In countries like Afghanistan
1) women hardly get any education
2) women have no idea about human rights
3) from young age they are told marriage is forever, if you leave him you are not welcomed back here
4) women get killed on just thought of divorced
5) if you leave your husband its not just you who would be killed
6) girls are brain washed from young age about bringing shame on family
7) IF they leave there husband where would they go??. what would they do with their lives

ITS NOT JUST ABOUT MAKING NEW LAW, ITS ABOUT EDUCATING PEOPLE AND BREAK THAT SOCIETY WHERE THEY TOLD THEY ARE NOTHING WITHOUT MEN.

Brave man for saying that in America. Fantastic to see a politition stick his head above the parapet for some thing noble and and some thing that could lose him as many votes as win them.

The laws are in place in order to protect EVERYONE... even the lowly prisoner who (it just so happens) may be innocent. I can not begin to comprehend this man's emotions as he was sentenced to death.

absolutely horrified and sickened at this. Women and children don't deserve this horrific treatment. If this happened in the West, a global outcry and demand for justice would be heard.
