IS it a contradiction? I don't agree with the death penalty or anti-abortion position, but I don't see some essential link between either position. You can hold two different beliefs about two different things is how come.

They literally call themselves pro-life and then express support for the death penalty.

Sure, but OP didn't ask, 'How can people call themselves pro-life but are be for the death penalty?' I'm not one to hang onto whatever catch phrases or name a movement lands with. Should* I expect the land back movement to, say, lay down on the ground as a for of protest? 'BUT LAND BACK IS IN THE NAAAAAAAME'. Do we think defund the police want there to be nobody to apprehend, say, right-wing terrorists?
