At least abandon the baby in a public restroom .. preferably not drowning or suffocating .. so that they at least have a chance..

I know PA isn’t Texas, but I still can’t help but wonder if we will see more situations like this if the rest of the country follows Texas’s lead with deeply restricting abortion (while also making it harder to get birth control by shutting down Planned Parenthood and other clinics). Forcing a woman to give birth against her will doesn’t seem like it will end well most of the time. We’ve seen enough child murders and horrific child abuse cases on Dreamin’ Demon to know that some people really, REALLY shouldn’t be parents. Throw in a sense of resentment (”Damn them for forcing me to do this against my will!”) and it seems like a recipe for abandonment, though they’d hopefully choose to abandon their newborns in public places.

Yeah, how can you shut down access to both birth control and abortion. I'm not really sure what their problem is with birth control.
