Ask Fred if it is ok by him if fathers drop their babies off at safe haven
spots, too, Bob. He won't even answer me any more, and I really like to
know if he supports a father's right to walk away from responsibility via
safe haven, too.

For a person who claims to be from Minnesota who has so many strong

laws regarding women's parental avoidance.

Never heard of it, but then I've only been back for four years.

"Under the Minnesota program, called "A Safe Place for Newborns,", a
mother
can anonymously drop off an unharmed newborn without fear of
prosecution.
She will be asked to volunteer medical information, but not required to
do
so. No identification required, no signed relinquishment, no mandatory
medical information."

So tell me, which do you prefer, having the child dropped off at a
firehouse or hospital, or dropped into a dumpster? That's a very serious
question, and I hope that you will respond in that spirit.

I prefer having the mother prosecuted for child neglect and abuse, and
force
her to be accountable for her decisions to birth a child she didn't want.

Under this scenario she ignored her legal rights to use a post-coital drug
to stop the pregnancy, have an abortion to terminate the pregnancy, give
the
child up for adoption, or take the child to term and raise it. Instead,
she
chose to have the child and then abandon it. The choice between child
neglect and child murder is a false choice.
