Last night the federal government killed a woman whose parents rented out as a sex slave for her ENTIRE childhood and beat her to the point of severe brain damage.
Nothing about this was justice. We all have blood on our hands today, America. Every single one of us.

From the time she was a child, Lisa Montgomery learned that the only time the beatings and the rapes would stop was when she was pregnant. She learned to claim pregnancy as a way to survive.
The crime she committed was a DIRECT result of this trauma. We murdered her anyway.

The debate surrounding the death penalty should NEVER be about whether the person deserves to die.
It’s about whether we, as a nation, deserve the right to kill them.
After failing Lisa Montgomery for her entire life, how can we think we deserve that right?

They didn’t even allow Lisa Montgomery the comfort of a final prayer before they murdered her.
While our elected officials commit crime after crime with impunity, they murdered a literal torture victim who was too mentally disabled to understand what was happening to her.
