League of Women Voters Supports Abolition of the Death Penalty

The League of Women Voters of the United States has adopted an official national policy calling for abolition of the death penalty. During the organization’s national convention in early June, 2006, delegates adopted a new policy stating, “The League of Women Voters of the United States supports the abolition of the death penalty.” The League of Women Voters of Kansas has had a position in opposition to the death penalty for many years and supported adopting abolition as a national position.
