That's not hypocrisy or inconsistency, it's just my way of thinking, but others who disagree with me choose to say its both hypocritical and inconsistent, to which I say 'That's politics".
See, I don't think its hypocritical to say you are pro-life yet pro-capital punishment. If you are dealing with an innocent unborn child that can't fend for itself, it is quite different than a human being that has done something so severe, that society sees that it would be better off without them. (I know that is kind of harsh, but thats the only way I know how to put it.)
