Now that the one U.S. company that made a main ingredient used in lethal injections has decided to end production, where does that leave the executions planned in death chambers across the country?

Likely facing delays, as expected challenges play out in court and many states scramble to find an alternative.

Here we go!!! What do everyone think Oklahoma will do?

Pro Life side prevails as lives are spared from death, but bad news for the taxpayers to continue paying into the funds for the prisoners on death row to stay alive.

Men and women behind bars waiting for the day of their death after being converted to Christianity will be screaming "Hallelujah!" for their answered prayers. Divine intervention from God? Feel free to join in the discussion exclusive for OKCTalk.

After reading forward, there is info stated about Oklahoma.


He noted the switch in Oklahoma to the anesthetic pentobarbital and today Ohio also announced that it would use pentobarbital. Rushford predicted other states may seek to use that drug, too. "The drug issue is not going to be a problem," he said.

It seems that Oklahoma were already prepared and made the switch in time. Those on death row in this state will be executed. *sighs* Oklahoma continues to commit murder.

It is no longer an issue here in Oklahoma Thunder. Though it had been an issue over the past several months, executions recently resumed in Oklahoma after hearings were held regarding the state's intent to change one of the chemicals used in the three chemical process to a more readily available chemical.

Kevin, you would think Oklahoma being a bible belt state that there be no murdering of human life in prison. :-/

Not really with all the divorce and fornicating that goes on in Oklahoma even though the Bible clearly states doing those things is wrong.

I like George Carlin's idea. :-P LOL NSFW or for sheltered people obviously.

Thunder, I won't defend the state's willingness to include the death penalty in the range of three available punishments (the other two punishments are life imprisonment without the possibility of consideration for parole, and life imprisonment with consideration for the possibility of parole.) However, you're mixing your deadly apples with poisoned oranges.

A murder is an unlawful act of taking a life. There are variations but the central point is the unlawful taking of life.
Use of the death penalty, within the confines of applicable law, is not unlawful. It is a permitted act.

Though any state, including ours, could function quite well without this particular punishment being lawful, it is simply incorrect to equate the imposition of the death penalty to the act of committing a murder.

Thanks for the clarification, Kevin.
