'Safe haven' law a good school lesson

Thank you for your recent articles about the Safe Haven Law. If a girl or woman would only bring their child to term and bring it to one of these locations if they can not care for it, more babies could be adopted.

This should be taught in high school health classes and colleges so girls won't feel they have to go to abortion clinics. The child can be kept for 30 days and can still be brought to a police station, fire station or hospital with no questions asked.

In contrast there was an article on the same page about a woman going to jail for killing a cat. Abortion doctors are allowed to take a life of a child without punishment. Why is an animal more important than our own children? What a country we live in. Our values need to be questioned.
