When is it my responsibility to stand up and say something?

When is it my responsibility to stand up and say something? I know people chant it’s a women’s body so therefore it should be their choice to carry a child to term. Does the child get a voice? What about a child that has already been born?
Peptides is considered to be the basic building block of “life”. Any bacteria on Mars would be considered an alien “life” form. We stop construction of homes to preserve nature and animal life. However a child with “severe deformities” would not be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired.
Thank you Lord for my life and for my next breath. I’m sorry we continue to destroy and kill your creation.

“[Third trimester abortions are] done in cases where there may be severe deformities. There may be a fetus that’s nonviable. So in this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen,” Northam, a pediatric neurosurgeon, told Washington radio station WTOP. “The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”
Dem Gov. Ralph Northam, a pediatrician himself, is defending born-alive abortions:
“The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired.”
Later Wednesday, President Donald Trump weighed in on Northam’s comments in an interview with The Daily Caller when asked for comment by a reporter, though he said he hadn’t heard the remarks himself.
“I’m surprised that he did that. I’ve met him a number of times,” Trump said of the governor’s comments.
“This is going to lift up the whole pro-life movement like maybe it’s never been lifted up before,” he told the outlet. “The pro-life movement is very much a 50-50, it’s a very 50-50 issue, actually it’s gained a point or two over the years.”
“I think this will very much lift up the issue because people have never thought of it in those terms,” Trump added. No woman seeks a third trimester abortion except in the case of tragic or difficult circumstances, such as a nonviable pregnancy or in the event of severe fetal abnormalities, and the governor’s comments were limited to the actions physicians would take in the event that a woman in those circumstances went into labor,” Ofirah Yheskel, Northam’s spokesperson, wrote in the statement.
In a tweet posted later Wednesday, Northam wrote, “I have devoted my life to caring for children and any insinuation otherwise is shameful and disgusting.”
