I am against both. But there is a moral difference--so Ican see how a person could be consistent in being anti-abortion and pro-death penalty.
Abortion is killing of an innocnent baby. Capital punishment it the killing of person who through their immoral and illegal behavior has been deemed by society to have forfeited their right to life.
In order for a person to be consistent in being pro-abortion and anti-death penalty they have to take the positon that a fetus is not a human being. I do not think that is a morally valid argument--but it is one that a lot of people take. These same people might for various reasons feel it is wrong for society to take a life (that would be a post-birth life--and hence a human being) and therefor be against capital punishment.

Unless a woman is raped or the victim of incest then her pregnancy was preventable and ultimately her responsibility. I am not firmly against abortion, but I do believe that people should take responsibility for their actions. I have no sympathy for murderers. I could care less if they live or die. What I do not agree with is placing a person's life or death into the hands of the government, or a jury. I like our legal system, but it is not perfect. If there is even a small chance that a person could be wrongly convicted then I do not think that we should be killing people based on these convictions. Besides, society is equally protected if the person is in prison for life or if they are killed. Why not stick with the solution that allows for mistakes to be corrected. EDIT: Sorry I didn't add this before. I absolutely hate both Republicans and Demcrats (The politicians, not regular people who support one side or the other). I wouldn't go so far as to call myself an Objectivist, but that philosophy has the greatest impact on my political views.

I'm against the death penalty because humans make mistakes. Can anyone ever be 100% sure they are killing the right man? Besides. I don't think criminals deserving of the death penalty should get the easy way out, they should rot in misery for a good long time.
I am pro abortion.

I am the opposite. I am against abortion and for the death penalty. I could never harm a child, even unborn, but I have no problem executing someone that tortures and murders another human. Especially a child! They no longer have a right to life in my book

Abortion happens because people don't think about contraceptives.
And death penalty is for people who have murdered someone..
Yes, You can argue you are murdering either way..
But abortions saves children from being born into this world to parents that won't truly love the child.
Death penalty is taking a bad person out.. That deserves it.

They don't consider a fetus as a human being. It's wrong for them to feel that way. As for the death penalty I'm for it in child rape or murder cases and smoking gun convictions like John Wayne Gasey or Jefferey Dauhmer. The he said she said convictions should not be death penalty but life in prison without the possibility of parole. Too many death row inmates sentenced on "eye witness" testimony have turned out overturned due to DNA proof. They keep'em locked up too long anyway. One man was there 27 years! That's just ridiculous!

Death penalty is about killing a fully living being.
Abortion is about killing cells that isn't a true living human being.
Those people against the death penalty are also against the kind of abortion that kills full grown babies. Those babies are equal in life as the convict because they're fully living human beings.
Those who are for ALL forms of abortion whether it's a living baby or not, but is for death penalty, are hypocrates.

The first thing is that, death penalty is for those who are committing crimes, but abortion for an innocent baby which is totally innocent and is not able to defend himself.
The only guilt he or she has is that he or she is result of a mistake by two irresponsible people who are making sex before thinking what is coming after.
Those who are against death penalty, they are doing that only for their popularity.

I'm for abortion and against death penalty because:
abortion:
-globally there are ~78,000 women who died from abortion every year in countries where abortion is illegal. They would have to abort the fetus themselves therefore, not only one death, but both death of the fetus and mother. Rather save one life then none.
death penatly:
-Death doesn't solve anything.
-There had been so many cases where those on death road had been saved because case proven wrong.
Too many answers to your question.
