Dont the abortion types allow those that survive the abortion to die either of "natural causes" or they finish the job?

@Doc1 this is especially for you. Or I thought you might like it. You advocate for public hangings, this article advocates for Firing Squads. Out of 50 states only 5 states allow for death by firing squad, Mississippi is one of them.
And of course anyone else that want's to read it:

Christa Pike Shows It's Time To Bring Back Firing Squads
The death penalty represents true justice for heinous crimes, and thus the firing squad represents the best method for dispensing justice.

BREAKING & DISTURBING: Christa Pike’s attorneys have filed an emergency motion demanding that Tennessee preserve all evidence connected to her failed execution attempt.
According to the filing, the execution team attempted IV access with at least seven needles, one of which was allegedly bent at a 90-degree angle when removed. Pike was given both Set A and Set B syringes, which her attorneys describe as two lethal doses of pentobarbital. During the procedure, she could reportedly be heard crying, whimpering and breathing loudly, at one point saying, “My arm feels like it’s about to burst open.”
Pike remains critically ill, unconscious, intubated and on a ventilator at a Nashville-area hospital. Her attorneys say both arms were swollen, burned and blistered when she arrived at the hospital, and medical staff are working to save her life and clear the pentobarbital from her system. Her lawyers are now asking the court to ensure physical, written and electronic evidence from the execution attempt is preserved as they seek answers about exactly what went wrong.

Well with this much of a screw up the State of Tennessee should be doing that without a court order, but yes the court order request is to prevent the parties directly involved from going into full CYA mode.
The condition of the IV needles is a definite "WTF?"
What are fuster cluck! There is NO DAMNED WAY this is accidental, IF any of the reports are true! I've had the experience of getting IVs into small kittens, dogs, a pony who I'd swear is crossed with a rhinoceros, and has the narrowest jugular groove I've ever seen, and bovines up to 1800#, many of whom seriously objected to anyone sticking needles into them... and it's just not possible to bend a needle 90°... although they *can* be, essentially, broken off at the base if there is serious enough force involved.
If she was strapped down...sorry, that's bullsh!t...
I sure don't know...I dont remember hearing about this case before now. But it looks like this *could* be a coordinated action to eliminate the death penalty...
It's beyond stupid that the bleeding heart leftists have made it impossible for us to use the identical protocol veterinarians use thousands of times a day across the country! But hey...if they insist... I'm sure some of our tech boys could easily come up with an automated guillotine.
I'm sure that I read somewhere, years ago, that a "gas chamber" that gradually replaces oxygen with nitrogen is the most humane death.

Everything in my read on it was that this was an interferred with process. That this was purposefully botched. But I would also note that there is a certain demonic air of that woman and what she had done. Demonic powers can have odd effects on reality...

As I posted on another thread, people that have been HEAVILY using certain illegal drugs are often unaffected by almost any anesthetic or similar medications and that includes the (normally) lethal cocktail they give for this form of capital punishment. If they are heavy enough drug users, it makes them almost unkillable by the needle.
There is another side effect that they also don't mention with this crowd (insane drug users) and that is that any surgery or other major medical care that normally would mandate anesthesia, now gets to be done "fully awake and feeling it". Gets real interesting for things like open heart surgery or spinal surgery....
The other option for this ability is demonic, and this person could have had both going on.

I thought of that, briefly. I just can't quite envision her managing that level of habit while on death row for 30 years!

If she burned out those receptors hard enough 30+ years ago before she was in prison, I don't think they come back. I have seen some of these people roll through the hospitals here in CVA, not much touches them, and getting medical procedures done on them gets REAL interesting. Watched a few of them get ambulanced to VCU in downtown Richmond because a "normal" hospital didn't have the ability to give them care while they were still wide awake and talking after what should have killed most people. And some of these people (supposedly) stopped "using" decades earlier...

I'm one of the least likely people anywhere that would be considered a "conspiracy theorist". I acknowledge conspiracies do exist, but it's never been my initial "go-to" position. I'm a "When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras" type of person. I'm old, have led an interesting life, have been in situations where had I not personally been involved, the events that transpired would definitely give an outsider the impression of ulterior motives, ie., conspiracy. Life is replete with truly fcked up situations, and the age-old adage, "Truth is stranger than fiction" has certainly had a strong ring of truth in my life.
That said... there are too many things here that don't add up here for me, even taking into consideration gross incompetence and having an understanding of how bureaucratic systems are sub-optimal on any given day.

The whole thing is obscene from the murder to her 30 years more of heart beats and then botched execution leading to life saving legal drama leading to new discussions of other means to snuff her shit show life.
Pretty picture.

Because it's not an officially sanctioned (approved) method available in Tennessee. Her options were the electric chair and lethal injection.

God has a plan, Trust it!
But how could she have been a heavy drug user for the last 30 years in custody? She has spent her life in jail since she was 18 years old. She's 50 now!

What you got against Zebra's? What have they done to you? LOL
SB was one of those who "woke up during surgery". The anesthesia put the shot through her vein and into her muscle, it hurt bad, and SB told him. He dismissed it. She woke up.
Just saying something weird like that can happen, not that it did.
And I like Zebra's. And an all female team makes me think Wilderbeasts.
See ya!

Tennessee Department of Correction Commissioner Frank Strada has resigned as head of the state’s prison system following this week’s failed execution of Christa Pike. It was the second time this year that a scheduled execution had gone disastrously wrong at Nashville’s Riverbend Maximum Security Institution.
Gov. Bill Lee announced the “leadership transition” Saturday morning, thanking Strada for his “willingness to put the interests of Tennesseans first during this difficult moment.” The governor added that he would “pray God’s blessings over him in the days ahead.”
In his own statement released by the governor’s office, Strada said “stepping aside is in the best interest of Tennesseans as the independent review moves forward.” He said the review of execution protocols announced by Lee earlier this week is “entirely appropriate and necessary.”
Pike, who was sentenced to death in 1996 for her part in the torture and murder of Colleen Slemmer when both were still teenagers, was rushed to a Nashville hospital Wednesday night after surviving two rounds of lethal injection. Her attorneys said in a court filing Friday that she was unconscious and on a ventilator. That followed May’s aborted execution of Tony Carruthers, which was called off after the execution team failed to successfully establish IV lines despite jabbing Carruthers repeatedly in various parts of his body.
Lee’s announcement earlier this week also marks the second time as governor he has called for a moratorium on executions and an independent review of the state’s lethal injection protocol. The state adopted its current protocol in 2025, shifting to a one-drug process using pentobarbital.
Strada was recruited and appointed commissioner of TDOC by Lee in 2023. He came to Tennessee from the Arizona Department of Corrections where he was deputy director. The New York Times reported Friday that Strada had overseen three “problem-plagued executions” during his tenure in Arizona.

I have small veins. Went in for surgery, and while in pre-op, when the IV was started, the nurse went straight through my vein into the muscle without knowing it. When the anesthesiologist began to administer the anesthesia, I started screaming, the pain was almost unbearable. I told him that something was wrong, but he laughed at me and told me that it wouldn't hurt for long. I woke up right in the middle of my surgery, enough to actually tell my surgeon that "It Hurts"! When I woke up in recovery, the IV line had been moved to a different location. Must have happened during surgery to put me under again.
I'm not saying this is what happened to her, but I can see it as a possibility.

Well honestly she is suffering a fate worse than death. But really there needs to be a medical protocol that states any complications from a botched execution equates to zero medical assistance and any such assistance is not paid for by the state...

I was thinking that she could have toasted those receptors 30+ years ago.
The other thing I was wondering is if there is a GABA receptor blocker or inhibitor that is strong enough to make it so that she would be "temporarily invincible" against that much phenobarbital? Something similar to Narcan, but for barbiturates. If someone was able to get it to her just before the attempt......

If she’s unconscious, she wouldn’t feel a proper lethal injection. Put her out of this now.

Lead would be cheaper...
Problem apparently was they either didn't find the vein, or they ran their needle through it, because she was complaining about the burning and pain in her arm. Yeah! Pentobarbital going IM (intramuscularly) would hurt like a stone cold bitch! But it would eventually, but slowly, unpredictably disperse and be effective enough to the point where she would get woozy, and with a double dose, fade off.
So they couldn't have done it right with anything that had to go IV, including an injected air embolism. The people doing the procedure were hacks and so what happened was just what the overly "sensitive" state laws and the activists want to happen. All for public consumption and with no regard for the job at hand.
Yes, I'm a big believer in moving to an overdose of anesthetic gas. It's pretty damned foolproof, even with the apparent fools who are tasked to handle these executions.
