"Every Six Seconds a Child Dies of Hunger"; Yet Anti-Abortionists Hardly Seem to Notice

From Granma (Cuban Newspaper)

Every six seconds a child dies from hunger

"UNITED NATIONS. –Every six seconds, somewhere in the world a child dies of malnutrition, according to Olivier De Schutter, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to food. In a UN General Assembly session, the official also stated that there are 1 billion people going hungry in the world, the majority of them women and children, and that the dimensions of the global food crisis are far from having diminished this year."

"The expert indicated that the reasons for global hunger are marginalization, poverty, lack of land and decent employment, along with an unjust international trade system that has sparked a decrease in investment in agricultural projects over the last 30 years."

Meanwhile, here in the United States recently the anti-abortion idiots have amped up their noise level through the MM, mainly in response to the alleged controversy of pro-choice Obama speaking at Notre Dame's commencment. (YAWN)

But anyway, after listening to the anti-abortionists carry on for a little bit about "murdering babies" I have to wonder why the hell they don't pay more attention to the atrocity of millions of children suffering and dying of poverty?

Although I completely disagree with how anti-abortionists perceive the issue of abortion, I actually think that at least SOME of them are sincere in their moral beliefs that abortion actually is "murdering babies."

But I do have to wonder why is so little attention paid to the fact of so many children die of poverty, and why there are not calls for radical action to rectify these horrible conditions?
