Someone can personally have no problem with abortion, think that abortion should be accessible to all women, but still believe that the Constitution does not protect it as a fundamental right.
Someone can think that abortions are a wonderful thing, but also think that if elected representatives from Alabama want to work towards limiting or banning abortion in their state, they should be able to.
Someone can be very verbal about the importance of family values even if they have an issue in their own family involving family values. Nobody's perfect! Who better knows the damage of alcoholism than an alcoholic! People can know they made mistakes but still feel strongly that those acts are wrong, and they can still have that opinion.
People can speak out against drugs and still be a user. I don't think that's inconsistent or hypocritical at all. Someone can hate what drugs have done to them.

It does make one look hypocritical though... But good point.
