The Terri Schiavo case in Florida in early 2005 brought to everyone's attention that the sanctity of ALL life has taken a backseat to personal desires and political involvement. God's Word is clear that the church - His called out ones - are to care for others, including those who cannot speak for themselves. May these Scriptures challenge you to uphold life in others regardless of age, not just in the unborn.
