It wasn't even CNN this time

As you all know, or should know by now, CNN makes my blood boil on a regular basis. This time it was KETV.COM with this article...

To sum it up, a woman left a baby at the hospital in Omaha and there is a manhunt on for her to the point they are issuing her photo to the news. Nebraska is one of two out of 50 states that doesn't have a safe haven law. I think it is ridiculous. There is obviously something terribly out of whack for a woman to abandon her baby but sometimes, they feel as if there is no choice. When that is the case, shouldn't the first concern be to take care of the child and not to criminalize the mother that makes that heartbreaking choice? The argument against safe haven laws is that adoptive parents won't have medical histories of the children. Now call me nutty but I would think the safety and well being of these babies is a tad more important. What do you think is going to happen if it is criminal for a woman to leave her baby at a hospital? She will more then likely leave it to hopefully be found somewhere out in the elements(as a woman in May did) or kill it. Every person I know, if given the option, would want a baby left at the hospital with no medical record versus no care at all.

EDIT: I found the follow up story on wowt.com this morning. They have found the mother of the baby and aren't charging her with neglect although the police made sure it was known that they could. She is an 18 year old and had given birth at home. She had heard about the safe haven laws and didn't know that Nebraska doesn't have them. She was taking the baby to the maternity ward and got scared so she left it in the restroom. The message boards are alive with all kinds of comments, some of them nutso but most of them questioning why the state doesn't have safe haven laws. Most people were really shocked to find out they don't have any laws on the books. Apparently it isn't such a no brainer in the state senate--

State Sen. Enie Chambers isn't in a hurry to change that, saying on his Wednesday cable access show, "When a child is born, there is a responsibility that the mother has to that child and the child should not be considered a throwaway."
VS.

“If you are under distress and you don't know what to do, it's better to drop it off at a hospital or fire station because you're making the right decision instead of dumping the child as was earlier this summer at a dump, trash," says Sen. Rich Pahls

I know which one I would vote for.
