Abolish all forms of capital punishment, the death penalty, and executions on a federal level.

Abolish all forms of capital punishment, the death penalty, and executions on a national level. The practice is antiquated, inhumane, and barbaric. Life imprisonment with no parole would adequately replace the death penalty. The death penalty does not deter the act of committing a crime nor does it reduce crime. The vast majority of industrialized Western societies and more than 128 countries worldwide have banned the death penalty, it's time for the United States to do the same.
