I have stated that I find it ironic (or whatever Fred considers to be the word I should have used) that a group of folks can be against killing convicted murderers, rapists, child molesters, ect... and not be against murdering innocent life.

This is what I can never understand. How can killing ANYONE be wrong when it comes to the death penalty, but killing babies via abortion is just fine and dandy?

I can understand the confusion towards the inverse (how people can be "pro-life" but okay with killing criminals), but that at least, has some rationale that I can understand to it, the former, I just don't get.
