Saving Babies

This man made a baby drop box to prevent unwanted infants from being abandoned to die.

1) This is what real "family values" and "pro-life" actions look like.  It's about love and service, not about manipulation.

2) This is one example of how an ordinary person can make a huge difference in the world.  Find something that needs doing and go do it.  That's heroism.

[EDIT 2/1/14] Read the lovely poem "Holy Ones" by siege, inspired by this post.

I wish some of these so-called Christian Missionaries would go to India and set up a system of baby drop-off sites. Maybe if they did, people would stop killing little girls and simply drop them off instead or maybe even pay poor women a dollar a girl.
Talk about culture bombs....considering how many girl babies would be dropped off to be raised by these Christian orphanages...
And it would be a far better way to occupy the missionaries' time and energy than annoying the rest of us.
