On the right, we have conservatives, against abortion and for the death penalty. On the left, we have liberals, for choice and against the death penalty.
There's a little bit of irony here, that both choose to kill something, but the right-wing folks decide support the government right to kill the matured human whose eyes have opened and have already been given a chance. Liberals decide to support the human right to destroy a fetus early before it receives a chance.
Human rights, as I've said before, are rather intangible (or at least irrelevant until they actually become reality, which the world shows they have not). Thus, to understand the situation, we must harden ourselves to the values of other living creatures. The first topic, abortion is a sensitive one, as many believe in life as precious from the beginning when it is still innocent. But really, it's basically a vegetable inside a mother until the last few months. We harvest vegetables all the time, don't we? And doesn't this solve overpopulation? Killing a grown human by the death penalty is less sensitive because most people don't see the person as innocent anymore. The person already had a chance to live and wasted it. This promotes some sort of moral code the government wants and makes the country more stable.
I apologize for the openness of these topics, but it's often productive to look at these things from the cold point of view.
