Baby Girl Saved by Missouri’s New Safe Haven Baby Box
This February, the first baby was saved using the new “Safe Haven Baby Box” initiative. Safe Haven Baby Boxes are secure places for mothers to drop newborns if for whatever reason they cannot take care of them - no questions asked. They are heated or cooled and equipped with silent alarms so that help can arrive swiftly after a baby has been deposited. These boxes are clearly a life saving initiative and a way to give women who are considering abortion options for themselves and their baby. Missouri state representative Jim Murphy stated that “We knew the value of these boxes in Missouri, and we are thankful it was there for this mother when she needed it”.

The Department of Justice wishes to destroy the remains, but certain Members of Congress believe that evidence is needed for the assurance that their deaths were not federal crimes, and that the late-term abortions were legal.

How Pro-Life Is Your State?
After Roe was overturned in 2022 Texas was one of the first states to outlaw abortion with exceptions to the life and health of the mother. Contrary to popular pro-choice beliefs however, this law states that the mother is completely exempt from criminal prosecution or any penalties in regard to her abortion. In recent news after 26-year-old Texas woman was charged for an alleged “self-abortion,” however the charges were quickly dropped as the law continues to protect women who fall victim to abortion.
