While people have been agonizing over baby Joseph, thousands have been killed on our nation’s highways, and many more severely injured. Families have been devastated.

Well, YOU certainly haven't agonized about Baby Joseph, by your own admission you had know idea who he was a few hours ago and probably still don't.

Yes, people are killed every day in tragic accidents; however, their deaths are not IMMEDIATELY PREVENTABLE the way that Baby Joseph's is.

And yet this one baby gets all the press.

This baby gets press because people who care about the sanctity of life CHOSE to do everything possible to save his life.

Were it left up to the mainstream media, the ones who report the news you do care about, Baby Joseph would have been murdered and nobody would have known.

Very good point. It happens too many times every day.

Yes, I’ll agree with most of what you are saying in that post. I look at it as very similar to the Terry Schiavo case. A media frenzy over a very political hot potato.

>>Well, YOU certainly haven’t agonized about Baby Joseph...<<
As I said in a previous post, if I agonized over every person that is suffering in the world, I would literally go insane. What about the people in the middle east that are being slaughtered right now? I don’t see anybody here flying out there to join them on the front lines. How you feel about that could be similar to how I feel about Joseph. Thanks to the press I’d say he’s pretty well covered by folks like you. And that IS a good thing.

Meanwhile, I’ll focus on the suffering of others. And that is a good thing too.
