Neph, there's your answer in a nutshell, at least for me. Abortion is a matter of personal choice, death penalty is a matter of government weilding its power to kill. The government shouldn't have a right to determine a woman's personal choice about abortion, but I have a right to determine the government's actions towards possibly innocent people.
