Boy could be 23rd child abandoned at Neb. hospital


OMAHA, Neb. – A 17-year-old boy left at a hospital in Lincoln, Neb., may be counted as the 23rd child abandoned under the state's unique safe-haven law.Nebraska's safe-haven law is the only one in the country that lets caregivers leave children as old as 18 at a state-licensed hospital without fear of prosecution for the abandonment.

This is the greatest law in the world since Charlemagne drafted the Magna Carta. Now all men can give women what they want - babies. No questions asked. Then, when the kid starts crying at all hours of the night and shitting their pants, the guy has an out-clause; he can drive that little bastard to a State hospital and completely rid his hands of the kid. It's like the kid was never born. Brilliant! Goodbye responsibility.

This law may make me change my mind about having a kid. Instead of having to raise the devil they all are, I have 18 years to dump it on someone else. This gives hope and comfort to all men. We don't want to get married or have kids because of the finality of these decisions.

Once we're in, it's hard to get out. I will move to the first state that allows a similar law concerning marriage. If I could drop my wife off at any state sanctioned insane asylum, and not lose half my income, the house and dog, I would get married this year.
