Letter: Do we really value all life equally?

Utah state Sen. Dan McCay proposes to eliminate all abortions in Utah. Teja Trujillo bemoans that police weren’t excited to search for her missing son, Keith “Chino” Fulcher.

On the one hand, McCay wants all lives to be born, arguing that human life begins at conception, thus proclaiming that society has a responsibility to give birth to all conceived human lives.

On the other hand, Trujillo wants every human life valued equally, even those who are homeless, on drugs, have criminal records, etc., and born to mothers who begin to have sex and make babies as 15-year-old children, thus placing on society the responsibility to take care of every life equally.
