Dude I'm not naive. Of course there are challenges and consequences involved in giving up a baby. I didn't mention them because I thought this went without saying, but: Parents are morally obligated to choose to take on those challenges and consequences rather than throwing the baby in a dumpster.

You risk a child abandonment charge? Wtf are you talking about?? Then risk it. Don't throw a baby in a dumpster.

There's just no world where "don't blame the parents" makes sense here. Regardless of how much misery it might cause the parents to relinquish the baby in a humane way, it's still on them to do so. I'm running out of ways to say this. You all are wild.

Don’t blame the parent that didn’t want the child when they were forced to have it

My brother in Christ...

Leaving an infant in a dumpster to starve or freeze or dehydrate or be crushed to death is fucking villainous behavior, regardless of the political climate.

The BARE minimum moral responsibility that these parents have is to give the baby to someone who might take care of it. A family member. An orphanage. Hell leave it near a police station and make it the state's problem. Just don't leave it in a dumpster. Or you are a piece of shit.

Was he particularly in a position to stop that?
