    Yes, because that baby is helpless and is her responsibility to take care of. It’s also an actual person, not a potential person like a fetus is.

        Moving the goalposts. That is not “simply walking away.” That’s following an established process in place.

          Following the established process for what?

          Is it for “walking away from parental responsibility?”

      What if she was impregnated against her will? What if she was forced to birth the child against her will? Is it still her responsibility?

        It is her responsibility to make sure the baby isn’t just being left to die somewhere, yes. If she wants to take it somewhere where others will take care of it, so be it. But it is NEVER right to “simply walk away.”

          Yeah, there’s no excuse for dumpster babies when it is so easy to leave them with responsible people who will ensure the child grows up safe, in a loving home.

            While it’s not easy to find safe, loving homes, at least give the kid a chance at life rather than dooming it to a horrible death.

        “What is a woman was raped, then locked up for 9 months until she gave birth, then let free. Would she be at fault if she abandoned the baby?”

        1. Considering the severe mental trauma involved here: No, I don’t think she would be.
        2. What the fuck is wrong with you?

          Yes, she would be if she left it on the street or in a dumpster or something. If she doesn’t want it, she should surrender it to someone or someplace that will take care of it What the fuck is wrong with YOU that you think it’s acceptable for a baby to be left to die?

            She’s been locked in a room and tormented for 9 months. I’m not saying it’s “acceptable”, I’m saying it’s understandable if the first thing she does is run away from the symbol of her torment. Much like how murder isn’t acceptable, but if the first thing she did was murder the person who tortured her there wouldn’t be a jury that would convict her. There is a strong case for temporary insanity.
