For some reason, I decided to look at what EVERYONE on Twitter is posting (click the "Everyone" link on your Twitter Home Page).
A post came up from a user with the name "UnWantedChild." Seems someone has written a program/script that will post a series of rotating messages ever couple of minutes or so: Quote:

Stab in the dark: It's probably tied to an anti-abortion campaign or person.

Oh, I guessed similar. But what is the point? It is the same five Tweets repeated over and over.
Why are people following this person? Do they really need to see those Tweets over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over? |
I'm not sure how highlighting the abandonment of unwanted children would be anti-abortion.
Those are usually hypotheticals of the pro-choice side. My guess, and it is based on absolutely nothing, is that someone did something similar for a fetus being aborted (maybe this one found with a guess at a user name) and this is a response to that. |
I'm thinking it's related to safe haven abandonment laws where you can leave a newborn (or is it up to 3 days old) at a hospital, police station or fire station with no repercussions. And maybe anti-prop 4 (I think) that requires parental notification for minors to have an abortion.
In other news, don't accept a friend request from bin Laden. Twitter can be used for terrorist activities. |

But your assumption is correct: the safe haven laws allow up to three days after birth to drop off with no repercussions to the mother (at least in California - I don't know the laws in other states). While researching this detail, I ran across some interesting facts from the State of California on the Safe Haven law: Quote:

Nebraska hurriedly trying to revise their safe haven law so parents will stop dropping off their teenagers, including one from out of state. I'm not kidding, really I'm not.
(Apropos of not much, just an interesting tidbit on unintended consequences I heard about over the weekend.) |

The CA law seems reasonable. I feel bad for the kids that have been dumped under the Nebraska law. Newborns are one thing, but teens????? One guy dropped off 5. ??? Dude. Stop having babies. Better yet, don't start.
