Why I don't believe Catholics that say they are "pro life"

A Facebook friend wrote an inane rant about how aborting a pregnancy was the same as killing a child or an infant. That includes a fertilized egg - the second the sperm pierces the egg, it's a human, to her.

She is proud to be a devout Catholic and works for a Catholic agency.

Before unfriending her, I decided to go through her newsfeed. In the last 12 months:
  • She has made no post whatsoever about the ongoing revelations that Roman Catholic priests have molested children.
  • She has made no post whatsoever about the ongoing revelations that the leadership of the Roman Catholic Church has repeatedly protected predator priests, protecting them from law enforcement investigations and prosecution.
  • She has made no post whatsoever about the immigrant children in cages on the USA/Mexico Border.
  • She has made no post whatsoever about past but recent Catholic scandals, like women enslaved in the Magdalene Laundries in Ireland, their children abducted from them and given to families, and in some cases, women and children murdered, their bodies dumped in hidden graves. She has made no post whatsoever about Catholic priests who participated in the Rwanda genocide. She has made no post whatsoever about Catholic priests telling people in Africa that condoms cause HIV/AIDS.
So, yeah, pro-life? My ass. Unfriended.
