/r/abolish
Capital punishment is ineffective and unethical. Stand with us and oppose it. Abolish the death penalty!
Our goal is to be the catylyst that leads to the barbaric practice of executing citizens of the United States of America to be done away with.
We are the minority, but together we can be a force to put an end to the tooth for tooth "justice" of our ancestors.
We do not believe the solution to killing could ever be more killing.This is not how we solve problems in the 21st century

Will the state of Ohio move to end Capital Punishment? Or would they introduce nitrogen hypoxia like in Alabama? What do you think?

Poll: Are you in favor of the death penalty for a person convicted of murder?
Every year since 1936, there has been a Gallup poll asking this same question in the USA. It's results can be found here: https://news.gallup.com/poll/1606/Death-Penalty.aspx .
I wanted to see what the users of this sub felt. It of course would not be representative of the US population, but I thought it would be fun.
Please partake in it if you like! : )
All are welcome!
The voting should end around noon on 9/9/2024

r/abolish update and changes
Hi all
For some time (try nearly 10 years) I have been quietly working in the background to approve new users, investigate reported posts and do what I can to promote the growth of this community.
It will be painfully obvious to many of you that the sub has lacked leadership from the moderation team for sometime. I myself only have some permissions which has been burdensome when the only mods with full permissions have long been inactive.
I am taking steps to acquire these permissions as I write this in the hopes I can remove some restrictions on posting, commenting and pull in some fresh blood to help me moderate the sub.
More updates to (hopefully) follow soon.
Best, Me
