Ever Wonder?...

Why are conservatives not okay with abortion, but push the death penalty. In my mind, it is an absolute contradiction. Isn't life supposed to be ever so important to them? With especially those with a religious faith, why would you murder someone? Isn't that against their moral code to kill someone? In effect, you are just as guilty of murder as that murderer who is sitting on death row because you are exacting death for a death. Killing someone is killing no matter how you look at it.  In Christianity, Christ said an eye for an eye was obsolete and incorrect. Why do some only accept parts of their religious texts and not others. It seems like a pick, piece together, and choose your own religion to me.
