Let's start with just this:
!) There are many pro-lifers who are ardently anti-death penalty. You just don't want to see them, because they don't fit your conception of how things are.
2) The injunctions against homosexuality aren't limited to the Old Testament, they are repeated in the New Testament. And just what do you think "abomination" means, that it's somehow a separate category from "sin"?
3) The command to obey the Sabbath was specifically, emphatically overturned by Jesus.
I'm so f*%king tired of being lectured in biblical exegesis by hacks and drive-bys.

Citations? References?
RK probably sees anti-choice and pro-death penalty linked because they are both supported by conservative repubicans.
