It is nice the Walk for Life event in San Francisco was most successful. However, I thought right to life encompasses from conception to natural death. I saw anti-abortion signs but no signs for health care for all. If a person or family cannot afford health insurance and/or prescriptions, doesn’t this lead to an unnecessary premature death as in abortion? I saw no signs for sane gun safety laws. If people are mowed down in church by a rifle converted to a machine gun, surely those lives lost met an unnecessary and premature death. If our government treats people at the southern border inhumanely and little children die and/or are malnourished, their parents living in fear of being sent back to Guatemala and upon arrival killed, aren’t those deaths unnecessary and premature? The border is a hemispheric problem, and the U.S. government needs to work with all the countries in North, Central and South America to solve as after a war when refugee camps are established and countries agree to accept a number of refugees. Are we culturally blind? Have we limited just what right to life means? All people need to be treated, no matter their age, ethnicity, or country of origin, with respect and dignity, or are we a nation of racists?
