- Remove the death penalty completely. It is a sad thing to see a serial killer sentenced only to life in prison, and to the victims’ families, it seems a complete injustice to not have the killer put to death. But life in prison is a much more viable option instead. This is because it is more expensive, after appeals etc, to kill a convicted prisoner than to keep him alive for the rest of his life. The argument has been made that appeals can be removed and thus speed up the process, but doing so would remove the system of free appeals, thus infringing on our first amendment rights of the freedom of speech.
- Remove funding towards abortion. Even if it is morally wrong to commit abortion, clinics should be treated as taxable businesses and nothing more – the abortion clinic, as a whole, is nothing more than a service business. So women wishing for abortions (naturally, only for reasons other than rape) should not be supported by the government, but may feel free to use their own resources for birth control and “planned parenthood.”
- Remove any bans on virtual child pornography. Studies from foreign countries have shown that once such a thing has entered into the social system, pedophilia is not strengthened (as logic would cause people to believe) but is weakened, with more perverse people being able to rely on printed or computerized material to fulfill their desires instead. This is another example of the continuation of the people’s freedom of speech.
