Would executing rapists encourage rapists to kill their victims?

Very good point. That hadn't actually occurred to me, and I think it's a very valid point.

Personally I don't support the logic of using the death penalty to influence behavior, but you brought it up.

I don't have strong feelings one way or another regarding the subject of whether or not the death penalty is appropriate for rape victims. However, I do have strong feelings about the appropriateness of SCOTUS, or any other court, overturning a law enacted through the appropriate venues on such flimsy reasoning. Let the people, through their representatives, make the laws. If they are in clear breach of the constitution, fine, overturn them. But the reasoning I'm seeing here doesn't come close, IMO.
