There've been two abandoned newborns in Chicago this week - one of them thankfully left at a church in between services. The other, not so much.
ER: Hip displaysia? I thought only dogs got that.
Yay for new dog, Scrappy.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Laura, do you have a safe haven law in your state? We finally do. I thought it would never get here. Thank goodness the baby is safe. I hope the mother gets medical care.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I shudder to think of the process of determining precisely who is eligible for this menstrual leave.

Allyson with plans like those, I think you're obligated to take a bad hair day, so the rest of us can live through you.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
ita, I've got an employee who would march in the streets for that. She calls out every single month. We've told her to please adjust her work schedule around it, and she doesn't, and she calls the other employees and tells whoever picks up, be it husband or answering machine, exactly why she needs someone to cover her shift.
(Also, I couldn't get to the article without a login- is there a Buffista one?)

Try this, Lilty.

Our wings are not tired.
Laura, do you have a safe haven law in your state?
Yes. They could have dropped the baby no questions asked at any fire station, which in Lauderdale not tough to find. This should probably be more well known.

Thanks, ita.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I think California does a pretty good job of advertising their safe haven laws, and then I think that the only time I hear about it is when a baby is found in a dumpster.
I just don't get it. I mean, there's post-partum depression, general craziness, but in the case of the baby tossed out the car, two people had to agree. What are the chances of that much crazy being on the same page at that same second?

I remember thinking that about that teen couple that was on trial for killing their baby a few years back, Allyson. Then I remembered Hitler didn't exactly act alone.
I was already in a terrible it's-a-dark-world-out-there place this morning, though. People should probably avoid my posts today, until they've doubled up on their happy pills.
