I hate the way they've appropriated that name - how many of them are *really* pro-life? Y'know, vegetarian, pacifist and anti-capital punishment? No, they only fetishise the sweet iddle-widdle unborn baby fetuses and don't give a damm about actual born humans.
Can't they be prosecuted for wrongful advertising or something?

"The problem is that unborn children eventually get born and must live in the actual world. In this sense, "pro-lifers" are like the 'baby daddies' of the spiritual world: full of promised love for the abstraction, and nowhere to be found when the kid shows up."

I don't know where I found this, but it fits.
