That's a dumb idea. How are women supposed to give birth, at home alone, with all the dangers that entails?

It would be a better to have an anonymous childbirth service, so that teenage girls can check in, give birth, and give the baby up for adoption, all without revealing their real identities.

What ever happen to leaving the baby in front of a church.
