New Mexico governor abolishes capital punishment

"Regardless of my personal opinion about the death penalty, I do not have confidence in the criminal justice system as it currently operates to be the final arbiter when it comes to who lives and who dies for their crime," Richardson said.

This, for me, is one of the basic issues. It is an issue of being pro-life and pro-human. It is an issue that will keep us in bondage to vengeance. I is also better that no one will be sent to death for something they didn't do.

Congratulations Governor Richardson for making a difficult choice that stands up for what is right.
