Germans Fight Infanticide |
by Zoe Sandvig |
German officials are doing everything they can to up their birth rate. Last year, they promised government subsidies for women who would give birth in 2007. And now, as Faith reports, they're promoting "Baby-Drops" to halt the growing number of infanticide cases. "Baby-Drops" (or Baby-Klappe hatches) allow women to drop off their unwanted babies at hospitals anonymously. Yes, there is criticism from clergy and charities, but pragmatism seems to rule out the vulgarity of this new option for distressed moms.
