Consistency - Part 1

Okay. Everyone knows how controversial abortion is. The two sides of the issue call themselves pro-life or pro-choice. But I am confused.
Those who are pro-life state that they oppose abortion because of their reverence for life. Yet most of them support capital punishment. They may argue that those on death row deserve to be put to death but what about reverence for life? They could argue that we have to put them to death to prevent them from killing again but that is not true. Today with SuperMax prisons very few prisoners ever have a chance of escaping. We can protect society without putting these criminals to death. It actually costs more money to put them to death then to keep them imprison for life so the argument that putting them to death to save money is not right either. Why not err on the side of life. After all it seems reasonable that if we keep putting prisoners to death that eventually we are going to kill someone who is innocent of their stated crime. It seems to me that the pro-lifers are not being consistent to their stated values of reverence for life.
However, most pro-choicers I have met only want choice for certain decisions for women. Most of them do not support school choice plans. So let me understand this. We should trust a woman enough to know whether to have a kid but not enough to know where to send the kid to school once she has him/her. I know many pro-choicers will say that it is about the government paying for her school choice they object to but will they keep the same standard for abortion. In other words do they believe that the government should not financially support a woman so that she can have an abortion. Most of the strong pro-choicers I have met support financial support for a woman's choice for abortion but not for where she sends her kid to school. Once again pro-choicers are not being consistent to their stated values of providing a woman with choice.
Why all of this inconsistency? Is there something beyond the stated values of pro-lifers and pro-choicers to be considered here. I believe that there is. But this post is getting long and I will have to discuss that that is in a later post.

Sincerely,
