There are people who are opposed to abortion and the death penalty (and nuclear proliferation, and unjust economic systems). See Completely Pro Life by Ron Sider, for example..

I guess you missed the horrible story of Alberta toddler, Ezekiel Stephan, whose anti-vax, anti conventional medicine parents were recently convicted of failing to provide the necessities of life after he died of bacterial meningitis.
