I'm all for this and any other programs that can help surprised mothers give up their illegitimate child rather than kill it.
But then again I'm against forcing illegitimate fathers to raise/support a child they don't want to raise under any circumstances- but we don't need to go on about that again. I guess that paints me as biased since any program that might convince an awful couple who would fuck up their child to let someone more capable raise it is a step in the right direction.
In my mind it's not a hole in a wall. It's a big blue mailbox.

We already have it setup in many states so that if a baby is left alone in a hospital lobby (alive and well) no questions will be asked.
This just takes away the possibility that the girl will be seen, which may make it a more attractive option to someone who is ashamed of their situation.
However, I think it's a pretty swell idea.
The only downside that I can see... is if it becomes a trend, and hospitals become swarmed with babies while consequence-free teenagers continue popping out new ones. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 03-19-2007 at 09:40 PM.
Or maybe a juicer. I'm in the mood for some Soylent Green...
I'm pretty sure there's a few states with similar laws. I think Montana has it too.

I think churches also take in/find shelter for unwanted babies, too.
Some do, though it is not mandated by law.
