The Value Of Life

Recently, in Florida, the state was denied the right to block an abortion of a 13 year old in their car. This is the same state where Terry Shiavo was allowed to starve to death, despite the protest of her family. The 13 year old is in custody of the state, where she ran away, and became pregnant. She has a track record of seriously bad decisions, but they are letting her make this decision. While I understand the difficulties of her having a baby, and she cannot care for it, but what about the life of the baby? This young lady will grow up having no sense of responsability for her actions. I know she is young, but if she can make some mistakes then walk into an office and in short order make her mistakes go away, where will this girl be in 5 years? In 10 years? It is sad that we live in society that no longer accepts responsiblity for our own actions. We blame everyone but ourselves.
The low value we put on human live has me livid. The loudest voices in our society want to save the animals, but toss the life of humans in the trash. If one of your family members is on life support, pull the plug. Having an unwanted baby?, just say no to adoption and yes to abortion. But if you want to build a home in an area where a species of frog is endangered, you must leave him alone. Am I the only one who sees the stupidity of this. And who must we blame? Who is at fault here?
Those who oppose abortion and remain silent are. Those who get outraged at the news reports, but do nothing are. Those who say they are Christians but let it all go, simply because it does not affect them directly.
In todays paper was a story of a man who woke out of a 10 year coma. It is truly a miracle. I wonder how many said that he should have been let to die. He has been returned to his family. We give up to easily on life. Life is not treasured as it once was.
