Put me in the pro-life moderate camp along with being rather strongly against the death penalty. It is somewhat funny that people seem to compare these two views as they don't have anything in common besides the issue of "life," whatever that is anyway.
Abortion involves the elimination of a human being that does not have the ability to protest its own murder. Often abortions are done for selfish reasons, like the mother does not want to have a child. If there are economic or health issues, then certainly abortion should be a viable option. It always has been.
The death penalty, like it or not, is decided in a courtroom where the defendant has the right to defend himself to a jury of his peers and a judge. Completely different.
