Dear Editor:
A couple of weeks ago the Guadalupe County Commissioners Court voted to spend $300,000 of taxpayer money wastefully. Guadalupe County hasn’t had a death penalty case in over 30 years yet they approved an inter-local agreement with Lubbock County to provide public defenders in death penalty cases, essentially an insurance policy.
Guadalupe County need never have a death penalty case as the District Attorney can simply choose to ask for life in prison without the possibility of parole and save the people of this county the $300,000 insurance premium.

The pro-life movement had to fight to pass a Partial Birth Abortion Ban. This was even after showing sketches of a viable 9-month old fetus passing through the birth canal feet first only to have the abortion doctor use scissors to cave in the skull and kill the child —all somehow calling this abortion rather than infanticide.
