Letter To The Editor: Right to Life addresses death penalty change

Dear Editor,

With the repeal of the death penalty and ensuing referendum, we have been asked if we have a position on that issue. From 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 bring 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 to protect innocent life at risk of death from abortion and euthanasia.

Julie Schmit-Albin
