Were they left at a fire/police station? Or a dumpster? Does Texas have the baby drop boxes where you can safely leave a baby? Just curious if they have safe options in place
They’re also the drop boxes in any country that doesn’t have abortion available. I really don’t know what they were expecting with that ban, when we have so many examples of how those things go from around the world…
They're ignorantly trying to force women to treat sex like a sacred act only conducted between two people who seek to form a family.
As far as they're concerned, if you're having sex, you're obligated to eventually be a parent; if you don't want to be a parent, then you're obligated to abstain from sex. At least if you're a woman.
It's the same reason they view contraceptives, homosexuality, and transgenderism as moral sins; they conflict with the traditional conservative sentiment that men are meant to rule the world and women exist as breeding machines not independant indivduals with their own autonomy.
They have anonymous drop boxes, but you can't leave a baby that is more than 60 days old. No idea how they'd find you if you left a 3 month old baby, but whatever. This isn't unusual though. California limits it to 3 days old.
You can also leave a baby at any police station, fire station, or ER.
69 babies in the last 5 years have been dropped off at safe boxes.
In the past 6 months, 7 have been found dead/abandoned.
So at least three of those six were abandoned in uh… not great places (I only know that bc I remember seeing it on news. One was a dumpster, which I believe this photo is from. One last week was found in a ditch outside a cement plant. Another was in a trash can and the garbage men didn’t find it til it compacted.
