The Roman Catholic Church is against capital punishment too. If you're a Catholic does that mean you must oppose it too?

Abortion and capital punishment are at different levels. If you're a Catholic, you're free to disagree with the current stance of the Church. It's isn't dogma. Abortion is murder, and intrinsically evil. The Church teaches that you must hold this view to be a faithful Catholic.

Precisely so, Pyro. Succinctly stated and well said.
