Better not hear even one pro-life person complain about the cost of these programs.

With all the goverment programs that are offered there should be no reason for these. But if they are being used then they should be there for the child's sake..... right next to a box full of diy spaying kits.

Mann... that's the worst thing ever. If you aren't ready to have children then don't! I'm not saying that every single birth can be planned into a providing family fully ready for parenthood but there isn't any reason why that number shouldn't be 95% of all families or higher. When you've got an abandonment of infants problem that reaches a cusp so critical that you must distribute "baby boxes" you know there's a deeper issue. A way deeper issue. C'mon, this ain't a third world country. I am embarrassed anyone from another country may read about that.

Abandonment of newborns has probably always happened. The "deeper issue" is women (often female children, themselves) getting pregnant when they don't want to. Is that difficult to comprehend? I don't think so. Would you prefer that they have an option other than dumping the newborn in a ditch or would you prefer that they do that so that you're not embarrassed if someone from another country learns about this?

The solution to this problem would be more of one concerning condoms and protected sex, I think. Abortion would work well and would be healthier to the mothers. Plus, if it was a first pregnancy they wouldn't get "birth-canalled".
