Only because the criminal sentenced to capital punishment gets due process of law and is found guilty, where the fetus is innocent by definition and gets no due process whatsoever.

Yep. It's absurd alright but not in the way you intended.

no one gets sentenced to death unless they first choose to commit a heinous crime.
and you're right, fetuses don't get due process, because they aren't a human being and can't present themselves in court.
