we can't even treat our OWN people right

so how the HELL are we going to treat others right? coincidentially i saw a story very similar to this on tv on friday. it was on cnn or one of those news channels. i was SHOCKED. the reporter was interviewing an la cop and he told the same tale. a tale of people in hospital gowns being driven into the 'skid row' district by AMBULANCES (this news story has a taxi dropping the patient off) and DUMPED OUT on the street to fend for themselves. how sad is that? are the same people doing the dumping 'pro-lifers' i wonder? do they INSIST we make women bear children that cannot be cared for (by them OR by society???????)

Video Catches Hospital 'Dumping' Incident

All Things Considered, March 23, 2006 · For many months, Los Angeles city officials have complained that regional hospitals are dropping off their indigent patients in the city's tough Skid Row area. On Wednesday, officials at a homeless shelter released a videotape that allegedly catches one hospital in the act. The incident has become part of an ongoing investigation that could result in criminal or civil penalties.
Security cameras outside the Union Rescue Mission, the city's largest homeless shelter, show a taxi pulling a U-turn in front of the building. Several seconds later, an elderly woman in a hospital gown shuffles into view. She appears to have only hospital socks on her feet, and walks in the street for a while before turning back to the mission entrance.
Mission worker Regina Chambers met the woman outside, later identified as Carol Reyes, a homeless resident of the city of Gardena, a dozen miles south of downtown Los Angeles.
"When I first approached her, she was very disoriented, didn't know where she was or what she was doing," Chambers says. "All she knew is that she had been to a hospital."............
