Indiana's Safe Haven Law


Earlier this week in Indianapolis a 22 year old woman gave birth to a baby boy in the women’s rest room at work.  She was confused and ill prepared to take care of a baby.  She had no idea that Indiana had a safe haven law. This law allows a mother, ill-equipped to take care of a child to take that baby to any police station, fire station, or hospital and turn the baby over with no questions asked.   

She put the baby in the trash and went back to work.  By the grace of god, two coworkers found him and he’s now in recovery at an area hospital.  The mother is facing neglect and attempted murder charges. 

How can we better educate young women on the option they have available when they become pregnant?
