Jesus also said

Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s

Clearly showing that even recognizes the right of the state to make and enforce its own laws.

While Jesus did save the adultress from her crime and challenged that he who was without sin to cast the first stone, he also told the women to go forth and sin no more.

Christians who support the death penalty are rendering unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. Like it or not, our Constitution is very clear, it establishes a death penalty. But that Constituion also has protections for those who might be accused, the right to a fair trial, the right to a trial by one's peers, the right to counsel, and the right not to incriminate one's self. Abortion has none of those safeguards.
