Ask priests what they think about Pro-Life.

Religion isn't a living, breathing life though. I understand what you're saying, but it's not an equal comparison. Is it hypocritical for protestant Christians to be pro-life but at the same time pro-death penalty and support the war, and go hunting, and not care about God's creation? Yes. Very sad.

The entire premise of your question is flawed because:
1. Not all people who are against abortion are Christian. I was anti-abortion as an atheist, and then as a Wiccan.
2. Not all Christians consider themselves to be anti-abortion. Many are pro-choice.
3. When was the last time Christians tried to "kill off" other religions? Wasn't it more than four hundred years ago?
4. What does the faith of a woman choosing to have an abortion have to do with anything? I refuse to judge them as people. I don't care if they're a satanist, Wiccan, atheist, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim or Christian. Their faith is not relevant.
Now, since each point of your question is flawed, it's impossible to answer it. I see no hypocrisy, since Christians have not used genocide or any other instrument of killing in order to convert people for a VERY long time.

So long as people don't practise the teachings of their religion, you will find hypocrisy in every religion.
Remember, religion is a practise. Declaring oneself a Christian does not make one a Christ, just as calling oneself a Buddhist does not mean that you are a Buddha.
However, if you actually put the teachings into practise, you will over time, become a Christ or a Buddha. Then, and only then, will there be no hypocrisy.
And, just for the record, people of all faiths have abortions.

Christians kill people simply because of their religion? Interesting. There hasn't been a Christian "Jihad" since Christians took back the land stolen from them by the Muslim conquistadors .
I hope you're not one of those people who think UN troops invaded Iraq to kill Muslims simply because they are Muslims and/or convert them to Christianity. Absurd.
When a Sunni / Shia kills dozens of Muslims from the opposite sect, as they have been doing for 1400 years, are they doing it for Allah, or for POLITICAL reasons?
Also, if someone is a pro-life Christian, they wouldn't get an abortion.

Some christians are pro life, many christians are pro choice. There are many different types of christians and just because one holds a certain opinion, that does not mean all of them do.

its not what you believe about Christians that makes a christian because if it was to jion a cult to make us super human we all would have the gift. Being christian simply means to think more carefully about your actions before you move. no one man on earth is better than the other we all are the same body and blood. and we go throught the same experience. religion is just a next home for the trying.

Are Christians "killing off" other religions or are people being converted? I haven't seen any news stories lately of Christians killing in mass numbers to force people to join.

All men have come short of the glory of God. That means in all areas of decisions made regarding life or death. We are not immune to mistakes as humans. We could have the great desire to overcome our errors, but without God, that is an impossibility.

Isn't it hypocritical that Christians are Pro-Life, yet they kill off religions that don't agree with them?

To this part of your question the answer is NONE. A True Christian Mother who loves God and abides by His ways does NOT commit Murder. "thou shalt do no Murder"
