what grinds my gears
A woman in Saskatchewan gave birth to a baby in a Wal-Mart bathroom. Into the toilet. And left it there.
The store manager found the baby a few minutes after. The baby is now in serious condition in the hospital. In the coverage I read, authorities were debating whether or not this woman should be charged. A few months earlier in Saskatchewan, a woman abandoned a baby on someone’s doorstep in -40 degree temperatures. That woman was not charged.
What the fuck?
Are they telling us that these women should not be charged because they are so overwhelmed and scared that they don’t know what they are doing? That is total bullshit. These idiots got pregnant, decided to continue on with their pregnancies and did NOTHING to find a safe, appropriate place to leave their baby during the time they were pregnant.
Not only should these women be charged they should be fucking sterilized.

Most places in Europe have a 'Baby Hatch' (like a foundling wheel from the medieval ages), a place where you can put your unwanted newborn anonymously. It's usually in a hospital or a convent or something.
America has the 'Safe Haven' law... where you can deposit your newborn, under 72 hours old, at a hospital, police station, fire dept, etc, without question. Just drop the kid off and walk away.
Canada doesnt have anything like that unfortunatley. It's completely disgusting and neglectful to abandon your baby in a bathroom. I agree, the mothers that do that can rot in hell for all I care... however if we had something like a Baby Hatch or a Safe Haven law I might think differently... it's like giving your kid up for adoption, except without all the legal paperwork involved.
