Rick Siegel Prespectives on Freedom and Liberty

The state of Nebraska passed a safe haven law basically allowing parents of babies to leave them at hospitals without prosecutions. Basically Nebraska was allowing parents to abandon their children into government coffers but obscuring that fact by claiming safe haven with the state is not the same as abandoning the child since the state will profit from the act. The real problem is obscured by such mass media pundits like Campbell Brown at CNN. They claim that Nebraska's problem is forgetting an age limit on the abandonment immunity as young children and teens are being abandoned.

People who heard they could dump their problems on the State of Nebraska have been lining up at Nebraska hospitals to abandon their teens, which are troubled from lifelong lack of parental care. It is notable that Texas had this problem a few months ago and apparently Nebraska ignored or did not read that news.

As the State governments nationalize the parental role of caring for their subjects from birth to death the people have not questioned why Nebraska and newscasters such as Campbell Brown try to obscure the legality of abandoning babies with an excuse that Nebraska should pass a discriminating law only allowing young marketable flesh. In fact Campbell says "The laws are intended to allow parents to leave an infant at a hospital anonymously and not face prosecution. The goal is to try to prevent unwanted babies from being abandoned." So a law is passed to help babies be left legally with the state so it does not call it abandoned? Left to the state and that is not being abandoned? How is a law legalizing abandonment passed so that children are not abandoned? That is utter bull Campbell Brown.

There is always a financial reason to laws and it is easy to understand when you see where the government and their press are pointing. In a law legalizing abandonment for children that is now under fire because they only want babies to be abandoned it must be because babies are more valuable than small children or teens to the state. What we have here is the financial viability of placing a baby vs. trying to repair and market a troubled youth. Either the law does not discriminate or it will. If you allow abandonment of only babies you are not making a safe haven for children you are building a market place for family adoption agencies, and workers marketing fresh babies.

Campbell Brown: No Bias, No Bull? Campbell, a law that allows you to abandon your children is a child abandonment law. It cannot possibly prevent abandonment by allowing it. Helping distraught parents plight who are incapable of raising a child should not have age discrimination.
