In the age of DNA, it's going to be dangerous to do that. We need more of the safe boxes at fire stations. Of course, we also need rights, abortions, contraception, and family planning to be widely available, too.

a person who throws a baby in the trash isn't one who's thinking clearly. it's fear, panic and desperation. deterrents are not going to be a factor.

And we already have a problem with women who have wanted pregnancies having severe mental illness episodes.

If you don't find the baby, no DNA. So much MUCH darker prospects..

DNA isn't magic, they still need a suspect to compare against.

Yes, but they have more and more samples to which to compare.
