What's Wrong with America? Why are Women and Girls Throwing Away Newborns?

There are probably all the excuses in the damn world about why these idiots do this. But in my eyes there is no reason for a child to be abandoned. They didnt ask to be born. Now for years I have said it should be mandatroy to streilise all girls until they can pass a parenting test and.or PROVE they will nuture and love this poor little child. We have the technology... why cant we do it?

It's not just America I'm afraid...It's a really saddening issue and it happens because the girls/women are either ignorant or plain irresponsible..A few years ago here in Singapore, a newborn was abandoned in an elevator lobby..

I feel there are young women/men out there who aren't ready to be parents for one reason or another. I wish they all knew about the options available in most states here in the US. I'm not familiar with laws in other countries. There are so many couples that want children and can't have them. It makes me sick when I hear of parents killing their children. I'd like to see them serving life sentences.

It breaks my heart to hear these stories. I have been blessed with 4 beautifull children and I would NEVER consider justthrowing any one of them away like trash. These so called mothers dont realise how many people in this world want to have a baby and cant. Fear plays a real huge roll in them deciding to get rid of the baby. They dont realise that there are the safe havens and that NO ONE will ask any questions if you just tell them that you want to drop the baby off because you are not ready or cant handle the responsibility. The problem is it is teenagers who are doing this and they are not educated that there are safe havens. My oldest daughter is only 7 right now but when she hits puberty and starts her period I plan on covering all my bases and making shure she knows that for 1 she can tell me anything and for 2 that if she gets pregnant that we will work it out no matter what.

American culture is decling in moral values

Only when I read this post my stomach turns up side down, I recently heard at news that a 17en year old child put a 1 week baby in a washing machine..., i'm sorry but I can't continue this post...

It's heart-breaking. Newborn babies are the most wonderful things in the world.

It's called the Baby Moses Law(Act) here in Texas. You can drop them off at fire stations, police stations, etc. To answer your question, I don't know why women choose to just up and leave their newborns in dumpsters and places like that. For girls, I can understand why they would do it. I don't encourage it at all but I would understand why a girl(child)would make that decision. After all they are just a child themselves. I just wish more females were more aware of the Baby Moses Act and drop their newborns off in safe hands if they don't want them. And unfortunately things like this aren't only happening in America, I hear stories about abandoned babies in other countries as well. I heard that it happens alot in some Asian countries too.:(

Personally I believe a woman is either possessed or just doesnt have a heart if she can do this. This is the MOST selfish act besides abortion. Yeah I would like to know why they dont drop them off. Maybe shame? Who knows. God knows all things. Judgement will come.

Remeber the "Prom Mom" - the girl who had a baby at the high school prom and threw it out in the garbage??? That was my high school - she was a year older than me. I really do not undersatnd people. How do you live with yourself after having a baby in the bathroom than trowing it into the garbage to dye??? Its crazy!

It sickens me when I hear about this. We have change the law so that the women/girls how have babys and do not want them can give them to a good home. Thier are so many people who would love to have children and can not and then thier are those girls that thrown thier babys away. I agree I think they should be put in prison for the rest of thier lives.

I don't know what's going on. It hurt me like hell though. We've been trying for almost 4 years to have another baby, and here people are, just throwing them out like trash. It breaks my heart.

Most of it comes down to parents being involved in their kids lives. You have to communicate with your kids and get involved in their interests. Teach them and let them learn from you. I know it isn't ALL the parents fault. Girls are getting more and more promiscuos at even younger ages nowadays and they need to be educated properly. Dont just send them to school and hope they learn the right thing.

it is really sad to read...the mankind are getting stonehearted and he/she losts their human nature and beocoming animals...i am wondering is this a cultural development ? or is it a going back to our primitive state of that monkey mind?

It's just the way the world is getting. The Bible mentions how the world will get worse and worse as time goes on. People have strayed away from God and they are becoming more and more evil. It comforts me to know that those little babies are in Heaven now and are better off than they ever would have been here on Earth.

That is a very good question. Now those of you who know me know I am as against abortion as they come, but why in a nation where you can get an abortion easier than stitches are women doing this? That's what I don't get. Not saying I want them to have abortion, of course, just saying.

i dont believe in abortion at all but why dont they have one or give it up for adoption or leave the baby at the church. Damn this just makes me sick.

Maybe because they are a very eviil person. that they dont care what will happen to that baby. Its their lost. who knows maybe that baby will become a great business man. a famouse artis or a president. its their lost. hope somebody will save the baby who got thrown by their evil parents.

Pressure is the only thing i can think of. She doesn't not want to tell her parents so she felt like this is the best thing to do.

is that happening?
