If you're truly pro-life and have a CONSISTENT life ethic (which would track with your opposition to abortion and doctor-assisted suicide), then this shouldn't be any question for you and you shouldn't need to equivocate. If you truly are pro-life and consistently so, you should vehemently and principally oppose the death penalty for all purposes and all its forms.


I personally support limited use of the death penalty (only for certain heinous crimes and where guilt has been established beyond any doubt - for instance, for the white supremacist Buffalo shooter), but then again, I'm closer to 'consistent death ethic' than I am to consistent life ethic (moderate on abortion but definitely don't want it banned, and mostly in favour of assisted suicide and the right to die). Based on your piety, and your stances on abortion and assisted suicide, you should hold a consistent life ethic, which would entail staunch, principled and unequivocal opposition to the death penalty.
