The only way to convince all people that they are valued is to value all people.
My musings on why so many teens are committing suicide – abortion teaches them that a human life is only valuable if it fits into the idealized view of how the American Dream should be lived out.
So when their life feels like it isn’t measuring up, and whose life ever does perfectly measure up, they do what they have been taught – snuff out life that doesn’t fit the ideal.
