I do know some individual Catholics who reject the death penalty for the same reason that they would not themselves ever seek or endorse abortion, but I don't see the same phenomenon in national politics.

The Church rejects the death penalty. It's literally a part of their catechism.
Yes, and the use of Catholic doctrine by politcal conservatives is cynical and selective.
That's what I meant— it's not as hard to find regular Catholic believers who are consistent in rejecting both abortion and the death penalty as a matter of their commitment to their religion as it is to find politicians who are the same way.
