Is it Really Pro-Family?

I just wish we could all sit down and decide once and for all what all these categories really mean. For instance, what does "pro-family" imply? I think those of us who are in family units and or have been touched by familial relationships are pro-family. When married or in a committed long-term relationship hopefully we are all devoted to our partners. We are all pro-family. This is of course unless what is really meant by pro-family is anti-gay or anti-equality of the sexes, races etc. If this is the case then don't couch in empty euphemisms, call it like it is, anti-homosexual, misogynistic etc. If "pro-family" advocates were really pro-family they would be marching in the streets about the domestic terrorism that goes on daily in so many households across our country (unless of course this is considered a private matter and should not be discussed publicly - this is the easiest way out of the debate). It is much easier to discuss matters and rights pertaining to a human not present versus those who might ask you for a dollar or a bite to eat, a warm place to stay and a hand to hold.
After reading the Associated Press article Christian Right Rebounds, where the pro-family agenda of a Florida Baptist church was highlighted, I began to wonder what might a pro-family agenda consist of, instead of just being anti-gay.
On the Pro-Family Network there is a notice for a Pro-Family Lobby Day in Ohio. On the sign-up form there are the following "pro-family" agenda items:
Issues and Legislation before the 127th
Ohio General Assembly:
Covenant Marriage
Banning Homosexual Adoption & Foster
Parenting
Total Abortion Ban
Community Defense Act
Abstinence Funding, School Vouchers Plus many
more

"Plus many more...." What didn't make it to this particular list? I hope help for single moms and dads who are struggling alone to raise moral and healthy children is on the agenda. How about some legislation that would assist all those mothers in poverty to get the alimony checks they are entitled? Yes, and what about poverty as one of the biggest factors that breaks families and marriages (the good and desirable heterosexual marriages) apart? Why isn't poverty number one on the agenda? I think Jesus would approve.
How about instead of focusing on the end result of a mistake or carelessness or rape, as pro-family people we create communities that nurtures self-respect in our youth, provides guidance and counseling to those in need, before the need to decide between abortion or not is necessary. A ban on abortion does not solve the spiritual, emotional and societal problems. What about health care for all those children in these pro-family families? Why isn't that on the top of the list as well?

Is this really about the family or are they merely phrases and "hot button" topics used to rally a community to organize their biases better?
Abortion, pornography, gambling, stem cell research... (Social issues from Focus on the Family site) Where are the agenda items about lessons in becoming a peacekeeper, learning to love one's enemies, creating safe homes for our families?
Instead of asking our politicians what their position is on abortion, when will we change the agenda and begin asking "What is your position on poverty and what are you going to do about it?"
God help us. Help us to love more and find a way to come together on these issues. We debate while people continue to live in fear and isolation, live without a proper meal or a proper hug. Teach us all to bring the kingdom here and flow in the same direction as your life.
Amen.
