Monday Teeny Poll
Monday, September 1st, 2008By Glinda
Last week, I asked about Nebraska’s new Safe Haven law, which allows children up to nineteen years of age to be abandoned. Most Safe Haven laws allow only for newborns, and I have to say I agree with the majority vote, which was “I’m not sure.” On one hand, I think that if it were to deter child abuse in older children, then that is a good thing. But what I couldn’t find was any provision, although there may be one, that once you choose to give up the child, that is it. The foster care system isn’t exactly perfect either, so I join you in the fence-sitting.
This week, I just have to ask about Presidential candidate John McCain’s choice of running mate in mother and Alaskan governor Sarah Palin. I thought about not going there, but as a mom, how could I not? I’m curious to see if I am alone in my views, or if anyone shares them. Although I won’t share them until next week.
