People with intellectual disabilities, or “ID,” formerly termed “mental retardation,” are all around: in our families, churches, schools, neighborhoods and workplaces. Most of us are blessed to have someone whom we know personally with intellectual disability, so we understand that people with intellectual disabilities have special needs and deserve the special protection they receive under the law.
Nonetheless, the State of Georgia plans to execute Warren Hill, an intellectually disabled man who should be entitled to this protection.
