A pure, honest liberal would not, could not, support abortion on demand.

If you can't support executing criminals, how can you support murdering an innocent (if inconvenient) baby?

Abortion....the human sacrifice to the god of convenience.

[Jay D. Dyson]

If you can't support executing criminals, how can you support murdering an innocent (if inconvenient) baby?

This does appear to be a contradiction on its face, but there is a common undercurrent in the Liberal's abortion and capital punishment stance:

Both seek to keep people from accepting ultimate responsibility for their actions.

Upon noting that, all apparently dichotomous conduct by the Liberals make sense. Liberals don't believe anyone -- not terrorists, not criminals, not those who abort their children -- should be held accountable for crimes and errors. (Hell, from what I see, the only people the Liberals ever want to punish are Conservatives.)
