Do you believe that it's inconsistent to be pro-choice/abortion and anti-capital punishment? ~
Or anti-abortion and pro-capital punishment? Don't both practices amount to people playing God?

Nope. Capital punishment is a penalty for wrongdoing. Abortion is a personal health and life choice.
Maybe someone should track people born because their mothers are denied their intrinsic rights. I wonder how many of them, through adverse consequences caused by poverty, family dysfunction and more, would end up in the criminal justice system.
Capital punishment is a problem because, no matter the crime, we don't have to carry it out. Abortion is a personal choice made to prevent suffering and unwanted children. One seeks to end life, one seeks to improve life.
(Let's not forget, either, that you're comparing a living grown human with a cluster of non-viable cells.)
