Now, don't get me wrong, I have no love for the American rightwing, but I definitely think that that's a rhetoric that is both heavily overgeneralizing and to the detriment of constructive discussion.
The central piece of the abortion discussion is if the child/fetus, in that instance, can or cannot be qualified as a being with similar rights to a human. If you take that as true, then abortion is obviously wrong, if you take that as false, abortion is obviously fine. That's what needs to be discussed. Name-calling is uselessly provocative.

He said he supported capital punishment, so obviously killing is fine, so there would have to be other reasons for it. The only one I can think of is sexism.

Capital punishment is only an option for the most heinous of crimes. You could argue that it's a consequence of their actions.
An unborn child has done nothing wrong. They are completely pure and innocent. You can see why those who see abortion as murder would have a problem with someone they presume as innocent to be aborted.
