Dr. Ben Carson points out that most of us instinctively want to protect helpless creatures and sometimes go to great lengths to do so. He outlined the many commercials about abused animals and the fact that many construction projects are often delayed or even canceled in order to protect an “endangered” insect, amphibian, or fish. His real concern is while that’s fine, and he’s not suggesting that we abandon our efforts to save baby seals or other animals, but wouldn’t it be good to also consider including human fetuses and babies in that list?
