And a first-order level of need for keeping the society healthy, vibrant, and able to maintain itself against challenges and invasions. Not to say, maintain itself economically as well.
Mixing up social needs with personal needs is no way to argue your point.
Individuals are people... and they have basic needs that must be met before they can focus on someone else.
As a thought experiment, wait until your bladder is about to burst... and try to focus on saving the unborn. You won’t be able to focus on it very much, for you have a more pressing need - the need to pee.
And that’s what a physical need is (ie: food, shelter, clothing). After that, safety and security take precedent. Only when all that is satisfied will anyone spare the time to focus on others.
Unfortunately, Obama probably knows this... which is why he’s been trying so hard to make so many unable to fulfill those basic needs. For it’s much easier to control someone when they can’t meet those needs.
