Yet
another story of a woman trying to flush her newborn down the toilet.
This version has some additional details.
Hats off to these McDonald's workers who noticed something wrong and were quick enough to call paramedics, who were able to revive the baby whose lungs were obviously full of toilet water. This has happened before and they all say they didn't know or play dumb. It's nothing less than attempted murder. Let's just see what happens. I'll go way out on a limb and predict probation.
This also seems like a good time to mention the upcoming
Wash For Life event. Wash For Life is a group of young people who wash cars on September 15th to benefit local pregnancy centers that do great work trying to encourage women who are thinking about abortion (or, perhaps flushing their unwanted babies) to choose life. They will post a list of locations closer to the date and if there is one near me, I'll certainly go.
UPDATE: Here is a story of a woman serving an eight year prison sentence for killing her baby by sticking him in the toilet.
