Aren’t there safe,places like hospitals, fire and police stations, churches where she could have done so?
exactly what crossed my mind. women need to know options especially when there are those anxious to adopt.
Yes safe havens.
1. There are no orphanages any more.
2. Nothing more than a “delayed abortion” where the baby was born alive.
3. An abortionist would get $300 to $500 to kill that baby whether born alive or not.
She should be chastised for leaving the infant alone, but then she should be thanked for at least leaving the baby alive.
In Massachusetts anyone can drop off a newborn at a firehouse or police station, no questions asked, though they will appeal to the mother to identify herself, they will not pursue her. It sure as hell beats the alternative of dumping the kid in a river or trash dumpster.
Yes, the Safe Haven Law which is known in some states by various names.
Allows the person “to leave a newborn with an emergency services provider without expressing an intent to return.” without arrest or questioning.
