Stories of saving lives just do not add up

The news tends to chill us with accounts of the loss of human life in Haiti, but it also thrills us when we get reports of lives that are saved, even rescue of some buried for such a long time. Some have had to have limbs amputated, yet it was a human life worth saving.

It also made the news about the rescue of a dog adrift on an ice floe. Was even a dog's life worth saving? It is great to get that news, too.

But what a twisted sense of the value of human life when, at the same time so much is rightly being done to save lives in Haiti, yet here in our country human lives are being legally tossed away every day through abortion.

It seems that some feel not all human life is worth saving. So the death sentence is passed on those infants who have committed the crime of not being wanted.

America, when will we wake up to equal values?
