That's fine. I'm sure the Church would agree with that position. But railing against foolishness doesn't help the unwilling victims of that foolishness. Like I said elsewhere, treat the symptoms and then move on to treating the problem.
You can't be publically humiliated or be in danger of your job, life, whatever, if you drop them off anonymously, no. But if you confide to your priest as a devout Catholic, I'm sure he would proscribe some kind of suitable penance. Besides, the guilt and torment those poor mothers would go through is probably more than enough punishment. If there is a problem of abandonment (which there is), then this is the correct solution to the problem. A safe, healthy, anonymous way of ensuring your unwanted babies are kept safe. Like I said above: even if only one person uses it, that's one less baby left in a cardboard box somewhere. That is to be commended.
Ja. Pro choice is making sure there are choices. This service grants another one.
