55. I certainly agree with you about justice
for abandoned newborns, and I can't imagine how it would feel to be a policeman and discover something like that. But the problem is that women who give birth without medical attendance aren't likely to report it if the baby is stillborn. And if they're planning on abandoning the baby, they sure as hell aren't going to report it, either. So, I really don't see where this bill, even if it is reworded to mean only actual births and not all miscarriages, would help in stopping the abandonment of newborns or in getting justice for them.
