The difference is that I don't believe that we should grant politicians and our gov't the authority to kill. It extends unbelievable trust and power to people who are going to make mistakes, and innocent people dying at the hands of our government should be unacceptable. It is hypocritical to have a system that steps outside of it's own laws in the name of said laws. Our government should be setting the example of decorum and logic for people to aspire to, not extracting vengance with a "do as I say, not as I do" sneer to its constituency.
Pro-choice is easier. I don't think government should tell anyone what to do with thier bodies in any medical situation. It's between me and my doctor.
So my reasons aren't based on morality or you subscribing to my idea of sin. It is limiting the powers of the government to protect myself and you. I think my motive seems consistent, don't you?
