"Pro abortion" is the conservative catchphrase for pro-choice people and it is meant to case trouble. So right off the bat, you're baiting people.
I do not think ANYONE is pro-abortion. No one is out there dragging women into clinics to coerce them into having abortions. Unlike the "anti-choice" movement who are opening and unabashedly coercing women into keeping babies, even if their lives are threatened or the child is deformed (natural selection should eliminate these fetuses before they develop but sometimes, modern medicine "saves" them).
I am for the death penalty in specific instances, just as I support abortion in specific instances. I think the death penalty is relied on too much to end the suffering of the living, even the wrong person is being killed. I also think some people are on death row for too long when it is obvious they should pay with their lives.
I do not support abortion as a form of birth control... I support responsibility in conception and abortion for life threatening cases or when rape or incest are involved or when the fetus is shown to be disabled or deformed.

I once walked in on my girlfriend's coathanger abortion. It was my kid. Six months in. I held the fetus in my hands and cleaned up the mess. I won't stand in the way of any woman who wants to have an abortion (especially if she is young or has been raped) but I don't encourage it. Some people thinks its a method of birth control. Its not.
As for the death penalty, there are too many bastards I would gladly kill with my bare hands if I thought it would make a difference. It won't so I won't.
The world has too many humans. Drop the laws and let mob rule and street justice reign for a few years and it will all be sorted out.
If killing an animal or killing the earth was considered a crime we would all hang in a perfect world.

Being Pro-choice is not the same as being Pro-abortion. The people who oppose abortion do so because of religious beliefs, and they are trying to use the government to force other people to practice their religion to the exclusion of all others. It is the same as their attempts to block the teaching of science. Don't forget that the same people who oppose the teaching of Evolution opposed the teaching of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics because they claimed the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle was an attack on God. As to the completely unrelated question of the Death Penalty, if you bother to investigate it is the Pro-choice people who oppose the death penalty, it is the anti-choice people (they do not deserve to be called "pro-life") who advocate both the death penalty and murderous terrorist attacks on abortion providers. The so called pro-life people thus make themselves no different from Osama Bin-laudin.

I'm anti-abortion, pro-choice. I'm also against the death penalty, yes. You see... we Buddhists take it from a standpoint that most of the garbage you see that creates so much strife has a solution, but in a dualistic Western society such things aren't implemented.
I also have a huge problem with the legal system and the prison systems... along with many other horrifying social ills.

I am on the fence on abortion and for the death penalty if there is proof to back up the claim.

Pro-choice does not mean pro-abortion. I am pro-choice and anti-death penalty.

I'm personally against both. If you actually value life, you have to be against both.
That being said, I have no right to make that decision for other women and think they should have the right to control their own bodies. While I could not have an abortion myself, it is every woman's right to make her own choice for her own reasons.
