You know what, think about it like this...If someone carries a child for 9 months and is so ashamed and so nonchalant about a LIVING MIRACLE that they have made...if they don't care enough about that child to go through the proper channels to put the child up for adoption, What kind of life will that child have with that mother anyway???
At least this way, the babies who are abandoned are safe, and they can get medical attention if need be.
As for encouraging abandonments, it's like I said earlier if they do it, then they didn't want the child from the begining. Now I know that there are some extenuating circumstances: financial lack, other children to take care of; but if the mother really loved the child they would make sure that whatever they did, the child would end up in a safe environment...so this excludes those moms who would potentially dump their newborns...
Just my 2 cents...
Like AKAtude said, there are so many infertile couples out there who would consider these children a gift from God!
