I don't doubt the child was unwanted. It's just not the place of the reporter to read an unknown, unidentified person's mind. It's the fact that the child was abandoned that implies he was unwanted, not the fact that the cord was still attached, though. Just a journalistic gripe from a newspaper reporter.

You're right. It was the subtle "hint hint" that since this kid was killed, we should allow "choice" i.e. for moms to kill a million kids a year with abortions.

I can see why the reporter wrote this, if the mother wanted the baby, she wouldn't have thrown him in the garbage, if someone else took the baby and killed him and threw him in the garbage, the mother would have reported a kidnapping. A wanted loved baby would have had a funeral and respectful burial of some kind. It sounds like another woman too lazy to use birth control and even too lazy to get an abortion.
