He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?" - Romans 8:32

Abortion, Michael Vick, Barack Obama, & My Confusion

HCD Research found that only 33% of Americans think that Michael Vick should be allowed to play football again in the NFL. Why? Because he tormented & killed dogs.

The Gallup Poll showed that as recently as May 2009, 42% of Americans are pro-choice, that is, they believe it should be legal to maim & kill babies.

Am I confused, or does the math say that Americans as a whole are more concerned with the life of dogs than with human life that is created in the image of God?

I heard President Obama say on more than one occasion that he wouldn't want his daughters punished for a lifetime for a mistake they had made (meaning, he wants abortion to remain legal so that those who are pregnant can be protected by the law for killing the babies).

But can somebody tell me if it would be any different at all if we just made a law that said any mistakes involving other people can be eradicated by murder? If Obama decides Biden was a bad pick, why not make it lawful to put him before the firing squad...who wants to be stuck a lifetime with a mistake?

Apparently, there's a difference between executing dogs vs. babies (with dogs being more valued), as well as a difference between executing adults vs. babies - someone explain this to me, I'm confused.
