A politico-religious movement that calls itself pro-life, but then reduces or eliminates benefits to children and parents that give that life the best chances to succeed come off as hypocritical. It's like we've all forgotten that a well-fed, healthy, educated populace benefits the body politic - unless the goal is to create a class-driven society with racial tension, crime and a populace that doesn't think critically.
