I need to Vent!

Yesterday there was a report of yet another newborn baby killed by their mother. Hearing this pisses me off! I don't know why I get like this, I guess I really do have a heart.

The usual reactions given by most people to this type of news is a comment, "how sad and Why?" then they turn the channel. This issue is really bothering me, I guess because of all the recent cases in the Chicagoland area of newborn baby's being thrown out windows, washed in hospital linens or simply thrown in the trash. I'm tiered of hearing such bad news.

There is a law in the state of Illinois, it allows mothers to leave their newborn baby's (up to 3 days after birth) at a hospital, police station or fire department with out criminal prosecution. Let me scream this from high above the Sears tower I THINK THIS IS A GREAT LAW! ! ! !

The problem is, it's not working that well! ! ! !

Why isn't it working? Maybe these women are not aware of this law, Maybe they are afraid that this law will prosecute? I really don't know! I was thinking the other day how can we make this law well known or publicize it more? I have the perfect solution to this. The solution targets almost everyone from different demographics and income. Why? Because the majority of people do this.

Ready for the answer????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Why don't we have a PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT during the adds or trailers at a movie theater? Think about it, Before a movie starts you are already sitting there your watching adds for doctors, Dentists, bookstores, restaurants and why not this too! It targets everyone because everyone goes to the movies, most everyone arrives early for a great seat.

Maybe the people are not aware that this law does exist, this would be a perfect opportunity to expose this law.

Has no one thought of this? Do you think it will work ? Any ideas?
