Quick Question

How can you say 
every life should be saved
when you have no concern for the living, 
for the hungry and poor 
you have saved that life for 
yet find yourself so unforgiving?

Americans are all about full throated support of something when it costs them nothing. Life is for living. Birth is just the first day, important day, but what about all the days that follow? Good to hear from you

A truthful paradox Jeannie, I often ponder this question along with many more hypocritical ones that life throws up, nicely put, cheers David
