It’s hard when people have resources in these circumstances and they choose to have the baby and leave it in the bathroom of Walmart.”
...but they have to have a brain....
Common sense is not so common anymore.
Before everyone goes into outrage mode...YES, it was awful what this woman did.
Maybe, we need another way also that a woman who has just given birth can drop the baby off somewhere.
Not justifying what she did...However, this woman did not have an abortion, and for whatever reason did not have support—medical or otherwise —as she was about to give birth. Probably terrified and in a town of 4000, she may have been afraid that to go to the hospital or police station with this baby, someone may recognize her-—women who leave a baby at the police station or hospital are usually not having a celebration first for the newborn.
She may have thought to drop the baby off at the hospital or police station , she would get interrogated or asked a lot of questions before she could leave.
i think we need to make it very “easy and comfortable” for the woman and get this out in the media so women are not afraid to go to the “safe Haven”. Or maybe we could have churches also be part of the safe haven concept.
