So I wonder, why did Williamson pick hanging.

The US moved to electrocutions and lethal injections, away from hanging.

The only reason for hanging is for public display.

There is something more barbaric going on here than simply a death penalty for abortion.

Williamson is playing some deep fantasies here, perhaps.

Consider this:

Second Iraq Hanging Also Went Awry

Wars have effects far beyond the immediate.

The fixation on public execution is an expression of conflict, a step beyond that of justice.
