Of the over 100 babies that are abandoned each year in Texas, about 16 will be found dead. An unknown number of murdered babies are never found. There is a solution. A Texas law provides a responsible alternative to mothers who might otherwise abandon, harm or murder a newborn child. It states that a parent may leave an unharmed infant, up to 60 days old, at any hospital or fire station with “no questions asked.” This law is nicknamed "The Baby Moses Law" from the ancient story of baby Moses who was abandoned, but was saved and grew to become an important person.
Wow, I didn't stop to think that others might not be familiar with this law. Sorry about that. Just think if your state does not pratice this type of law what does one do? I just wondered if anyone has heard if this law is working? We always hear the bad but what about the good? What do you think about this law?
