I’ll take a stab at it, joyless: Because babies are innocent and called out in the Bible as deserving protection, whereas mass murderers are guilty and called out in the Bible as deserving punishment.

"I’ll take a stab at it, joyless: Because babies are innocent and called out in the Bible as deserving protection, whereas mass murderers are guilty and called out in the Bible as deserving punishment."

And to be pro capital punishment is to be pro-life, since it is based upon the premise of human life being basically sacred and thus not to be unjustly or unlawfully taken, in which case the loss of life is the penalty.

Which is Biblical (though the State is given the sword for such, not the church).
