Isn't the difference between a truly civilized society and a barbaric one that the civilized society will take care of the most vulnerable of its members?

Because we live in a predominantly Godless society, with degraded upside down values in which we pass a legislation to prohibit capital punishment for the most abominable criminal acts, yet pass a law that allows for the wanton slaughter of every unborn child within the womb.
The modern day legislaters who are nothing more then shadowy caricatures of human beings do not understand the reaction for such slaughter, it is murder in the first degree, just see the degradation of womanhood in this age, you cannot even take shelter of your own mother, even your mother will kill you.
Dead things don't grow, from the moment of conception the living entity is present, because the soul is in the sperm, that is why there is life, to murder that life is one of the most heinous crimes in this age, because the living entity is not the property of the state or the property of the mother, the living entity belongs to God and it is stated in the Manu Samhita along with other Vedic literature's, that anyone who performs this act, will be subject to a severe and significant reaction.
Your position on this issue is most laudable and should be fully supported by all civilised people who possess even a smidgen of decency.

We live by majority rule in a postmodern society. Postmodern in the sense that we live more by our desires than by a sense of what is right or wrong.
In a twisted sense we believe might makes right. Right in this case being the majority which represents power, another tenant to postmodernism. The powerful can attain their desires in which no right or wrong outside these desires can be known.
As for your details, I agree, a civilized society protects its most vulnerable members. Unfortunately we can not even agree on who these members should be.
All we can do is our best and have a clear conscious for ourselves. Let's hope enough recognized members of our society, especially the powerful, will be moved to towards a healthy sense of what's ethical.

To your second question yes it is the difference. The answer to the first question usually is greed. Not necessarily obvious greed, but nonetheless a selfish greed. People are losing the ability to me truly empathetic to people, mostly because of the secondary pressures of a distorted form of capitalism. People leave lives there are increasingly structured and busy, because it serves the interests of capitalism and discourages differences of every kind. We'd rather vote someone off the island than learn to adapt. We'd rather elevate and scrutinize insignificant differences so that we can look down on others, and call it entertainment.

Because as a society we are quite an evil little bunch of !@#$%^& . And most people don't give it a second thought . Those that really do care aren't smart enough or strong enough to do anything to change it . Other people support the killing of other people's children for primal and/or practical reasons .

What do you mean! The March of Dimes spends vast amounts of money each day to keep severely deformed baby's alive.Baby's with no brain's,no limb's or a face.A blob of human flesh containing no vital organ's and we give it a name.We take a baby with two head's,four arms,two leg's and one kidney and make it live for four year's just so we can see if we can cut them apart.I call that experimentation.Look up KUTV 2 NEWS.com.

I would argue that the mentally handicapped and the elderly are more valued (as well as vulnerable) members of society.

Guess what? Wrong. A civilized society allows the strong to survive so that the specices benefits as a whole. Barbaric, primitive societies give everyone a chance to corrupt the gene pool for as long as possible.

Because it's a WOMAN'S CHOICE!
The most vulnerable are the LIVING children! Unborns are more safe than children who live in abject poverty, unsafe conditions, violent communities/families, or without adiquate education!!!
Try getting some yourself...I think you're just another victim!
