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

The dumpsters ARE the drop boxes in Texas.

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…

Oh wait… it’s Texas…

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.
