They want to save the unborn babies, but execute people as soon as they are convicted, whether they are guilty or not. My MIL is a prime example of this.
She is a nice woman, a mother, a grandmother, but she has taken the propaganda and internalized it.
So, she believes that abortion is murder, at any stage. In fact, when I had a miscarriage, she was against my getting a needed D&C, because it is "the same as having an abortion". Her son, my husband, told her to shut up on that one.
However, she thinks that the death penalty is just fine and dandy. In fact, she even has trouble with the idea of "innocent until proven guilty" because she thinks that "everyone knows" who the guilty ones are.
So, I don't discuss politics with her. At 77, she's not going to change and she is my children's grandmother and the woman to whom I am grateful for raising the wonderful man who I married.
My FIL is another kettle of fish altogether....he's a closeted liberal. Doesn't say much, but privately thanks me for challenging his daughters on their politics. Go figure.
