I always classify myself as "Pro-Death", because I'm pro-abortion, pro-euthanasia/assisted suicide, and pro-death penalty.
Basically, I'm firmly of the belief that human life has no inherent, implicit value, so there is nothing sacred or special about it, and thus, no real need to preserve it at all costs. Morality is a social contract, and the only real ethical "truths" are the ones we choose to agree with.
Even most of the strictest religions with "Thou shalt not kill" rules still make plenty of exceptions based on what they consider appropriate situations where killing is necessary (and even "Thou shalt not kill" in Christianity is a mistranslated corruption from the original Hebrew anyway, where it's more appropriately translated as "Thou shalt not murder", with "murder" only applying to socially disruptive killing, which doesn't include things like self-defense, suicide, war, punishing criminals, or even abortions/contraceptive use).

Pro choice conservative. I seem to be a rare species.
I'd probably fall into that category, though I prefer to think of myself as a libertarian/classical liberal more than a conservative. Though most of those terms have been tainted beyond any resemblance to their original meanings these days anyway.
Of course, on this board or others like it online, I'm probably pretty far Right by default because so many people fall into the lunatic fringe side of the Left as-is.
Most people are against the death penalty because it costs more than life in prison. Not that it causes death itself. ---
