In the United States, capital punishment is legal in 31 states, as of August 2015. In May of this year, Nebraska became the most recent state to abolish capital punishment. In my opinion, capital punishment in the country should be abolished by the Supreme Court of the United States, because we all know that there will be some states, especially Texas, that would not abolish capital punishment at the state-level. In fact, it's ironic. The South retains capital punishment, yet are majority Christians. I am a Christian, and the Sixth Commandment says, "Thou shalt not kill."

It does not matter if you reside in the United States or somewhere else in the world. Capital punishment has been abolished for all crimes in 102 countries around the world. I would support a convention in which capital punishment is abolished in all countries. However, even then, there will be countries that would rebel against it, and I predict it to be the Middle Eastern countries. Now, I want to know your opinion on the matter. Should capital punishment be abolished?
