Abortion and death penalty

Sir, - Fintan O'Toole (Opinion November 14th) criticises as hypocritical some pro-life people

Sir, - Fintan O'Toole (Opinion November 14th) criticises as hypocritical some pro-life people. Their view, he says, "has no credibility" without them also espousing "resistance to militarism, the death penalty and conditions that deprive people of dignity".

I think it would logically follow that people who do espouse resistance to militarism, etc. are hypocritical if they aren't also pro-life. - Yours, etc.,
