You're refering, I believe, to the "safe haven" laws - first enacted in Texas in 1999, where it is called the "Baby Moses Law."  Some version has been adopted, to date, by 46 states.  \n\nHere's a good link for more info...

That would all depend on the state. South Dakota was considering a law that would terminate parental rights for people convicted of rape AND require them to pay some form of compensation in lieu of child support, but it was ammended so extensively that the bill as passed did not even mention rape.

It depends on the state, but in a lot of them they can only as far as it goes to benefit the minor.  ie They can prevent mom from buying a new car, and force her to use the money on the childs medical bills, etc.

Life in prison . "Laci and Conner's Law", signed by President Bush in 2004 makes it a crime to kill or harm an unborn child .

I think you have to ask yourself - are you talking about a CA state policy or a county policy or a school district's policy?\n\nOnce you narrow that down, you might want to ask again (and don't require it to be popular - that makes people think they have to agree to it, and there is lots going on in CA that we don't necessarily like).\n\nAll I could think of is laws, not policies - like the ability for mothers to drop off their babies within the first day to hospitals etc. so that there are fewer babies killed or left for dead...\n\nHope this helps.

If it is going to harm the Mother then probably yes, it should be allowed. But I feel there should be places in all the states that if you don't want your baby you can take him/her there without have to "kill" it.\n\nI am very against abortion.

No, I doubt there's a "special law" for it. It would be considered murder, homocide or voluntary manslaughter.\n\nBut if the pregnant woman kills her own child after birth, then there's a law for that.

only if the female is pregnant

You need to contact you local Health and Human Services Dept in your town or contact the Government. Basically your local welfare office will assign this card to you. You can also ask your ob/gyn and their supposed to have this info available to you upon request.\n\n\ngo online and type in your state.com (www.kansas.com) or org (www.kansas.org) depending on where you live and type in hr on a search engine.

in Wisconsin, a child has to be in foster care for a minumum of 15 months to be adopted.  And all options and opportunity must be given to parents to fix their situation.

none\nthis should be left up to either the parents or the individual

I think if a woman can live with the decision to abort a life, then let her do it. I could never have an abortion, but I would not want "Big Brother" to tell me it is not my right to decide! This is SUPPOSE to be the "Land of the free" How is it free if everything is illegal?

County Health nurse or if you need to, an emergency room. They can't refuse you unless they are a private medical facility.

I agree that a woman should have the right to chose and there are lots of children out there who have to go through foster homes and live very hard lives. I am pro choice. I also think that if it is made illegal then there are going to be alot of women dying from having abortions done in "hole in the wall" places that are not sanitary or under almost torturous conditions. I could never do it but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. I think that when a person says they are pro life that they are not looking at the bigger picture. Ask them if they want to pay higher taxes that will come from the government having to take care of the children that abandoned from the mothers that didnt want or couldnt take care of these children.

Go to this website: http://wcca.wicourts.gov/simpleCaseSearch.xsl you can find pretty much anything public like that out.

There is no difference other than the one you pointed out--if the baby is not wanted, it is not considered murder.  Imagine if we applied this same logic to others who are "unwanted" in our society.

It might sound drastic to her, but she must not have seen the parents and children we've seen. I think there should be some sort of law put into effect or something. My dad rented out his house to a couple that had 6 kids, the oldest one is 10, and the mom goes and whores herself out at a local truck stop for money, and she collects welfare and insurance from the state for all of her children, yet keeps getting pregnant...SHE SHOULD BE STOPPED!!!
