The pro abortion, pro life argument is that a young enough baby is not yet a person and therefore abortion is not causing any harm to anyone.
However murderers are adults responsible for their actions and therefore subject to the consequences.
I happen to be pro life, pro choice and pro the death penalty in some circumstances but am not a religious person. I don't think my situation is unique.
You aren't technically "pro life" because you only value life under certain circumstances. If you were to put one innocent man to death for every hundred guilty murderers then that means you didn't value that innocent man's life. You valued the deaths of the murderers more than the life of the innocent man. You can't simultaneously be pro life and pro death. As such, you are just a religious person who values life under very specific circumstances, you don't value life in general and so you can't be said to be truly "Pro life".
