Jesus said "The poor will always be with you."

There is NO reason for killing babies no matter what their circumstance, situation, or health. Sin is ALWAYS with us, too, until the Lord returns. Sin causes death to even the guiltless and innocent.

We mourn and grieve for those who suffer because of their circumstance, and it is our role to love them and accept them and encourage them to feel like their life is significant. The best way to do that is to show them Christ-like and God-like love.

“those who suffer..it is our role to love them and accept them.”

Unfortunately, so many are not loved and accepted, so become alcoholic or drug addicted, a slow death, which makes them even less lovable, and far too few people to show the Christ-like love. Ask yourself, how many troubled people have you given your time, attention, and help to unpaid. I used to do a fair amount of that and my military son wanted to know why I was “wasting my time on losers.” I mentioned a couple of people whom I counted success stories, and he backed off a little. Now, sadly, I am 70 and dealing with my own crises and problems, and no longer have the free time or energy to help others.
