From SFGate.com:
Disturbing decal: School official Cyndee Garcia shows off a sticker that will soon be placed in various locations in Orosi, Calif., in hope of dissuading mothers from abandoning their babies. Three newborns, all genetically linked to the same mother, have been left in the same neighborhood in the last few years. The most recent one, a girl, died.
The outrage is, of course, that the sticker Ms. Garcia is holding is in English only, which shows that Ms. Garcia and the school officials in Orosi think that only English-speaking mothers ever abandon their babies. Isn't this quite unfair to the Spanish-speaking Mom who's on the fence about dumping her newborn in the dumpster? Where's La Raza when you really need them?
Sadly, if you follow other statistics, white mothers are the most abusive to their fetus'. White women have the highest percentage of smoking while pregnant than any other race.
