Rant of the Day:

Let’s face it, children can an inconvenience, a hardship even. They take money, time, sacrifice. They can ruin the plans we have for our lives, ruin our reputations. But they’re precious, life is precious; killing a child at any age is murder, no matter the circumstances, no matter how much easier it might make your life. So why is it that killing a child before their first breath is a 'health choice'? I don’t understand why so many people think that’s okay.

What makes the lives of children precious anyways? Is it the potential they hold, all that they might someday be, all the lives they might someday touch? Is it their helplessness, their dependence on us? Their innocence? Their trust? The simple fact that life itself is precious? Is it their uniqueness, the fact that they are a soul, a set of DNA that will never be duplicated? What makes children precious? And what makes the life of an unborn child worth so much less than the life of a newborn?
