I'm against capital punishment because while I think there are certainly crimes people deserve to die for committing, I don't want my government in that business.
I am also concerned that death penalty for rape (of any sort) implies that rape as effectively ends or destroys a life as death, which is a terrible message to send to survivors of rape, even if the fuckers do deserve to die for the crime.
