Pretty wild! All states give you at least 30 days to dump your baby, no strings attached. Some states give you 60 days!

I feel like more people should know about this! It seems like a highly under utilized ability.

    Nah, I was thinking something along the lines of the Right saying that Young mothers are abandoning their kids because “they’re selfish” or “they are avoiding responsibility” so some state passes a law that states that abandoned kids get DNA tested and traced back to their mothers so they can be forced to raise kids they can’t afford/can’t raise “to protect the family”.

    The US has a track record of fucking over women and girls, what with their war against contraception, abortion, adequate child care, etc. It wouldn’t surprise me if the next move is “stop women giving kids up for adoption” under the guise of “protecting the family” or “personal responsibility” or some shit, but in reality is just a way to create cheap labour from underpaid women with a mouth to feed.
