Amanda Ralph's Child


The first sentence of the article: "Amanda Ralph is the kind of woman whose babies are prone to die."  When we hear about "value voters" and the need to do such and such to deal with something that led to three thousand deaths or whatever, things like this comes to mind:
The unusual attention Ms. Ralph is receiving is one of myriad efforts being made nationwide to reduce the tens of thousands of deaths each year of infants before age 1.

These days, I can relate when such things seem "frequently disheartening," but we trudge on, trying to keep our priorities in order. Merely cutting government and lowering our taxes, not mine. Caring for the health and well being of all, the "general welfare," not attacking "Obamacare" is.
