So, I'll take issue with some of these:
1) Is so tied with the GOP politicians
Why wouldn't it be? That is like saying "Isn't it odd how ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ seem tied to Democrat politicians?". What's odd about it? Read the party platforms. The pro life movement is obviously more compatible with one party, the ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ agenda with the other? Why is this "odd"? You'll need to explain. The NRA supports republicans....is that "odd"?
and supports their "values" - basically laissez- faire capitalism while scapegoating the poor and loving having both sexes as a labor pool.
A lot of republicans will laugh and shake their heads here. I
wish it was really for unfettered capitalism. It's all about perspective, my dear.
It goes beyond them mocking food stamp recipients. Young fathers need jobs that provide for a family.
So, I'd love to debate economics, but I'll let you decide and break out another thread if you like.
2) Pays almost zero attention to the birth control pill and other abortifacient drugs, except for the morning after pill. I've seen where they had physicians removed from Catholic hospitals because they perform IVF, but physicians who prescribe the pill are guest speakers or on local crisis pregnancy center boards.
I'm quote sure the "Pro Life Movement" doesn't remove anyone from any job. Tha would be the governing board of the hospital...and if its a Catholic hospital the Bishop should darn well put pressure on the board to do so if the doctor is performing IVF. SO, you'll need to explain what you're talking about here. The "ProLife MOvement" is not exclusively Catholic. It's a political movement and includes a lot of Protestants....they have no moral teachings on these things.
So, why is this "Odd"?
3) They way they push adoption instead of advocating for and helping mother and child to stay together. I've seen them promote things that just go against nature at crisis pregnancy centers. Some crisis pregnancy centers are out to basically find babies for the affluent, and women have relinquished their rights under duress or from being tricked. Even the "good" ones often cast judgement on women who choose to parent - and this is in print not just an opinionated volunteer.
This may be entirely valid. I have no quarrel with it.
4) Totally embrace feminism apart from what the upper class rejects -which is mothers of preschool aged children staying at home. I was looking at the March for life and saw "feminist for life" how ridiculous.
One does not need to be an orthodox Catholic (or any Catholic, or even a Christian in any claimed way) to recognize the natural law written on men's hearts. This is a Church Teaching, that even someone so screwed up as to claim to be a feminist can still tell right and wrong in the matter of murder.
So why is this "odd"?
5) They don't really teach chastity as far as their lifestyle. You see "pro-life" student groups from Universities with women in them. Instead of encouraging young women to join a "pro-life group" on campus, they would encourage women to marry young and not live away from their father or guardian in a college dorm. They don't enforce proper distance between unmarried men and women.
Here you must be thinking of a "Pro-Chastity" group. The "Pro Life" organization opposes abortion. It is not a church. It is not The Church. It is a single-issue political advocacy group, and is not usually crusading on other matters, even related ones.
Why is this "odd"?
6) They do not teach good standards of modesty and accept cross-dressing.
See above. If you want the "Anti-cross dressing soceity" I'm sure one exists. Otherwise, you appear to think the Pro-Life Movement" is the Catholic Church. If it is not The Catholic Church, then why would you expect it to possess the fullness of all Truth?
so, again, I don't see what's odd here.
7) They shy away from stating that women who have abortions are murdering their children, and they glamorize women who have committed multiple abortions then stopped.
They are a political action group. They know what impresses people. See all above criticisms, as well as:
[21] And the son said to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, I am not now worthy to be called thy son. [22] And the father said to his servants: Bring forth quickly the first robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: [23] And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat and make merry: [24] Because this my son was dead, and is come to life again: was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. [25] Now his elder son was in the field, and when he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing:
[26] And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. [27] And he said to him: Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe. [28] And he was angry, and would not go in. His father therefore coming out began to entreat him. [29] And he answering, said to his father: Behold, for so many years do I serve thee, and I have never transgressed thy commandment, and yet thou hast never given me a kid to make merry with my friends: [30] But as soon as this thy son is come, who hath devoured his substance with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
[31] But he said to him: Son, thou art always with me, and all I have is thine. [32] But it was fit that we should make merry and be glad, for this thy brother was dead and is come to life again; he was lost, and is found.
It would seem that Jesus is also rejoicing over a murderer who repents.
