I do not agree with them but they are against the death penalty, they are against contraception, they are against abortion, they promote adoption and have organized charities to offer same for generations.

Of course these same people hide their pedophile crimes so clearly life only means breathing and not quality of life so please do not accuse me of being an apologist. I just appreciate the consistency on pro life and anti death penalty.

It's inconsistent with a pro-life view to believe in execution.

One of the reforms Democrats have been pushing for decades regarding abortion is taking the profiteering out of the cost of an adoption. If you really want to end abortion, adoption is a key component for making sure the kids are given an opportunity, but when everyone makes a buck off of it, most young couples cannot afford it.

I encountered an evangelical religious-based social service agency in Texas a couple of decades back that operated off contributions from churches, but they wanted a $I0,000 fee on top of the attorney's cost and the adopting couple covering housing and pre-natal care for the mother for the four or five months she was in their care, provided by the social service agency at their children's home. Came to around $25,000.
