I'd rather they were dropped off at a hospital than a dumpster, so yes.

That's a law?

It doesn't sound nice.... but it is way better then those girls dropping them in a dumpster! At least the babies will have a chance with life.

If the child were not wanted, then it is a better alternative than abortion or dumping the child in a trash bin somewhere. Those instances usually make the local news and the baby is very well cared for when dropped off at those safe harbor locations.

I believe it's a good law because some people can't afford to bring up a baby and some don't know how or don't want to. I've heard too many stories about babies being found in dumpsters to say this would be a bad thing.

Yes. It's much better than them dropping them into a rest area toilet, port-a-john, or dumpster.

I think it is a heck of a lot better than putting them in a trash can!!

Better that than dead, in a sports bag beside a cycle path , as I have just seen on the 6.00pm news

It is called the Safe Haven Law. And it is awesome. 68-11-255. Procedure for surrendering custody of unwanted infant without criminal liability. (a) As used in this section and in § 36-1-142, unless the context otherwise requires: (1) "Facility" means any hospital as defined by § 68-11-201(21) [68-11-201(23)], birthing center as defined by § 68-11-201(6) [68-11-201(8)], community health clinic, and any out-patient "walk-in" clinic; (2) "Member of the professional medical community" has the meaning provided in § 68-140-202(9); provided, that such member of the professional medical community is on the premises at the time of such voluntary delivery; and (3) "Voluntary delivery" means the action of a mother in leaving an unharmed infant aged seventy-two (72) hours or younger on the premises of a facility, as defined by this section, with any facility employee or member of the professional medical community at such facility without expressing any intention to return for such infant, and failing to visit or seek contact with such infant for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter. (b) Any facility shall receive possession of any newborn infant left on facility premises with any facility employee or member of the professional medical community, if the infant: (1) Was born within the preceding seventy-two-hour period, as determined within a reasonable degree of medical certainty; (2) Is left in an unharmed condition; and (3) Is voluntarily left by a person who purported to be the child's mother and who did not express an intention of returning for the infant. (c) The facility, any facility employee and any member of the professional medical community at such facility shall inquire whenever possible about the medical history of the mother or newborn and whenever possible shall seek the identity of the mother, infant or the father of the infant. The facility shall also inform the mother that she is not required to respond, but that such information will facilitate the adoption of the child. Any information obtained concerning the identity of the mother, infant or other parent shall be kept confidential and may only be disclosed to the department of children's services for use consistent with the purposes of this section, § 36-1-142, and § 36-2-318. The facility may provide the parent contact information regarding relevant social service agencies, shall provide the mother with the name, address and phone number of the department contact person, and shall encourage the mother to involve the department of children's services in the relinquishment of the infant. If practicable, the facility shall also provide the mother with both orally delivered and written information concerning the requirements of this section, § 36-1-142, and § 36-2-318 relating to recovery of the child and abandonment of the child. (d) The facility, any facility employee and any member of the professional medical community at such facility shall perform any act necessary to protect the physical health and safety of the child. (e) As soon as reasonably possible, and no later than twenty-four (24) hours after receiving a newborn infant, the facility shall contact the department of children's services, but shall not do so before the mother leaves the facility. Upon receipt of notification, the department shall immediately assume care, custody and control of the infant. (f) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, any facility, any facility employee and any member of the professional medical community shall be immune from any criminal or civil liability for damages as a result of any actions taken pursuant to the requirements of this section and § 36-1-142, and no lawsuit shall be predicated thereon; provided, however, that nothing in this section and § 36-1-142 shall be construed to abrogate any existing standard of care for medical treatment or to preclude a cause of action based upon violation of such existing standard of care for medical treatment. (g) No criminal prosecution shall be based upon a mother's act of voluntarily delivering her unharmed infant at a facility pursuant to this section if the mother acts in full compliance with this section.

I think its necessary for laws like this to be in place, unfortunatly.

I believe it's better than any of the obvious alternatives such as dumpsters, garbage bags, etc., but the nagging question I have is what ever happened to responsibility? *shrugs*

I believe in it and support it all the way.

Yes! It's better that they have the ability to do that rather than throw it in a dumpster or some other stupid sh** these women are pulling!

yes, i agree with this..its an option for women who dont want children. i also like that it can be done anonomously...women are so often judged for the choices they make regarding the issue of reproduction.

Yes! It's better then them killing the baby or leaving it in the dump!

I think it's a better idea than the dumpster. I don't to sound like a smarty-pants but there are alot of young women who just don't know what to do.

It is sad that we need this law, but we do NEED this law. If it will prevent the death of an infant, then absolutely.

it's better than leaving it in a dumpster, or killing it

Yes it saves them from being killed by the mothers.
