Not saying that's the only reason, but it's certainly one reason. I personally criticize religious anti-choice groups' attempt to impose their religious beliefs on other people, and overwhelmingly, those are Christian groups, not Buddhist or Muslim or Pastafarian ones.

You do realize that Muslims are very anti-choice with regard to abortion right? Some sharia courts will allow it under circumstances that they deem appropriate, but it's not the woman's choice.

They are also extremely anti-gay and view gays with disgust. This is all according to their scriptures.

As far as being against groups that attempt to impose their religious beliefs on others, Islam is right up there with Christianity. Politics and affecting politics is very much intertwined in religious gatherings at mosques and religious conventions, just as it is at churches. They take it a step farther though when they start wanting to be able to have their own sharia courts.

Islam is pro-choice historically. Just like Judiasm. It's only the modern and misguided Salafism that is anti-choice.

It has always been haram to have an abortion, with the exception of if the mother's life is in danger. For this the lesser of the two evils is acknowledged as saving the mother. That's not exactly pro-choice.

There are no judgements against birth control and pregnancy prevention though, so there's a plus. Except, that they are encouraged at their mosques and through their religious leaders to have numerous children (the more the propagate, the sooner they are the majority and able make right in the world with Islam). Thus the wishes of the religious leaders and the husbands often end up trumping the wishes of the woman if she doesn't want anymore.

That's a pure fabrication (nicer word). Now as far as the topic of this thread I think people have a tendency to criticize things they don't understand much or feel threatened by

I noticed that people are of two types: those who encourage us to have few children and those who encourage us to have a lot of children. Is there is evidence to support either of these two opinions?.

Probably a more common reason is educated people who do understand but tire of those continuing to evangelize a 2000 year old philosophy full of many disproved beliefs.
