How is it consistent to oppose the death penalty for murder and to favor abortion on demand?

Bruce asked:


I don’t get liberalism: To wax sentimental over vicious killers while casually tossing prenatal human victims into the trash?
Lisa, aside from not addressing the question, the Supreme Court has consistently recognized that the death penalty for murder is not cruel and unusual, perhaps because the Constitution itself refers to “capital” crimes, thus implicitly recognizing the justice of the death penalty.
Those who take the radically unscientific view that the prenatal child is not a living human individual should consider that Hitler did not consider the Jews to be living human individuals. We get into big ethical trouble when try to redefine our potential victims as subhuman.
Origen, good answer; but could you clarify what you mean by “hard cases”?
Excellent, Misty. Those who argue that the prenatal child is not a living human individual never seem to be able to demonstrate that the child is alive, or a human, or an individual.

Have they never seen the 4-D scans of the developing child in utero?
