Safe Haven laws now report that 22,000 infants ( and older children ) are turned in by their parent / parents each year. With all these states planning egregious abortion bills expect that number to rise sharply. Some of these states aren't even allowing for rape victims. Some of these states are putting restrictions on the in order to save the mother clause. This will certainly result in some deaths. Anyway keep track of the numbers of children abandoned, that is sure to go up. Home - Child Welfare Information Gateway
