Humans are more valuable than the Monarch Blue Butterfly

You would think this title was understood by our world, but when I read in the newspaper that our federal government is allocating more funds to ensuring Monarch Blue Butterflys live while also allocating funds to promote abortions of human beings, I have to wonder exactly where do we humans rate?  I, for one, stand on the side of human beings - made in the image of God created to rule and protect nature. Not, as it seems we are leaning, to become subservient to it.
