Priorities.

The recent bill that forces women to have a sonogram prior to abortion is a terrible invasion; however, this post by Rachel Farris of Mean Rachel.com turns the focus onto an issue that seems to have greater importance. In reality, this post is geared more to those of a liberal view, but I would hope that it would bring attention to what is happening now, instead of what hasn't happened yet and perhaps sway some opinions.

                The post brings to light that we should think more about ways to help the living, who are here and need support, rather than ways to guilt people into not having abortions.

                Rachel Farris relays her own experiences with a neighborhood boy, Zekarius, who frequents her home and other areas. He is 5 years old and doesn’t seem to be cared for properly, as seen by his lack of speech and dental hygiene.

                Ms. Farris details an event that occurred where Zekarius was in need of some medical help, she attempted to bring the boy to his home, which was severely inadequate and spoke to his mother to let her know that Zekarius needed to see a doctor. An hour later, Zekarius was back, having not seen a doctor.

This story strongly backs Rachel Farris’ views that lead her to think about those heartbeats she must already hear.

                We have children who need help now, and are in situations such as Zekarius, where they aren’t getting the attention they deserve.  I agree with Ms. Farris and wish too that more people who, “believe in life, but not in the living”, would see how life is for those already here.
