I think it depends on the reason for each position. I will say that if somebody were to oppose abortion on moral, religious grounds and at the same time support capital punishment they would be hard pressed to explain how they reconcile the two. I have heard the arguments about the innocence of the unborn baby and "eye for an eye" for the criminals, but those are simplistic and don't hold water in a meaningful debate.
