Today in history: on this day in 1954 The Humane Society was established in America to protect animals from barbaric treatment. Now don’t get me wrong – I think it’s great that we have an organization that works to protect animals from cruel and inhumane treatment. In fact, there are numerous laws in our country which protect animals such as the bald eagle, sea turtles (as well as their eggs) and even ladybugs.
In striking contrast, the Supreme Court companion decisions Roe V. Wade and Doe V. Bolton (both of which were handed down in 1973) made it legal to abort unborn children throughout all nine months of pregnancy. Yes, healthy babies carried by healthy mothers. Every day in our country there are approximately 10,000 live births while we destroy 3,500 children through an inhumane surgical procedure called abortion, and that’s not even counting the children killed by chemical abortion. Maybe it’s time to establish a Humane Society for pre-born human beings to protect them from inhumane acts such as abortion. Let’s make abortion unthinkable!!

Thought-provoking, and makes me wonder why we, as a society and a world, that so many humans put animal welfare above human welfare. Now I do not support abortion in any case; I share my beliefs with those who will listen; and I will support groups that are pro-life, but I have yet to volunteer my time to actually stand in front of an abortion mill and pray or counsel the women who are contemplating an abortion. I do, however, spend lots of time volunteering at local animal rescue sites and even fostering puppies and kittens. I now have to ask myself if I, too, care more about the animals than the babies; and then I need to make some changes.
