Abandoned Babies and Their Moms

A newborn baby was left in a box behind a man’s garage. The apparent mother of the newborn is facing the possibility of criminal charges because the baby was not abandoned according to the law, which says that the baby must be left at a safe haven location, such as a hospital, fire station, police station, etc.

Yet if you read the article, the woman’s neighbor said he first noticed the box by his garage sometime on Friday. The woman found the box by the fence about 2 pm on Saturday.  The man who noticed it by his garage did nothing about it! Didn’t even bother to look inside it! Yet he’s not facing any sort of charges!

My guess is many of the people condemning this woman for abandoning her baby are also anti-choice. And if the anti-choice forces succeed in getting a ban on abortion that will withstand the constitution, you can bet there will be a marked increase in abandoned babies, women of child bearing age dying from botched self-induced abortions and children suffering from child abuse/neglect because the parents (usually the  mother since the father can just disappear) who never wanted them to begin with had no choice to abort and is now taking out her frustrations and anger on the child she never wanted.

Such is the hypocrisy of many of the anti-choice forces.
