The baby girl was just a few hours old when her mother brought her to Spokane Fire Department Station 8. The woman, in her late 20s, had given birth at home Monday morning, she told firefighters. A friend tied the umbilical cord. With five other children, the woman didn’t think she could take care of the baby, so she handed her off to the firefighters Monday afternoon. “It was pretty smooth,” said fire Lt. Dan Awbery, who was on shift at the station. It’s the first time Brian Schaeffer, the city’s assistant fire chief, can recall someone using Washington’s safe-haven law to leave a baby at a Spokane fire station. The law, passed in 2002, allows a parent to leave a newborn who’s less than 3 days old with staff at a hospital or fire station, no questions asked/Rachel Alexander, SR. More here.

Question: Do you agree/disagree with the concept of Washington's safe-haven law?
