LA county vehicles such as maintenance trucks and police squad cars can be seen sporting bumper stickers. And&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What they say:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t abandon your baby.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What they mean: <\/strong>A million and a half babies are aborted each year in our country, so it is no wonder we have come to place such a low value on human life.  Rather than aborting babies, some women apparently would rather just carry them to term and then drop them in the nearest dumpster after they are born.  This is bad, please don&#8217;t do that.  Instead either have the abortion or leave it someplace safe after giving birth.<\/p>\n<p>Does this offend you?  I hope so.  Is it so hard to see the connection between abortion and the value we place on life?  In our quest to ensure a woman&#8217;s right to &#8220;choose&#8221;, is it possible unforeseen and undesirable  societal consequences  have resulted?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and by the way, leaving your baby in a &#8220;safe&#8221; place may not include hospitals in Barack Obama&#8217;s state &#8211; stay tuned!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-179\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.harmonicminer.com\/wordpress\/2008\/08\/24\/what-they-say-vs-what-they-mean-ii\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-179\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.harmonicminer.com\/wordpress\/2008\/08\/24\/what-they-say-vs-what-they-mean-ii\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-179\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.harmonicminer.com\/wordpress\/2008\/08\/24\/what-they-say-vs-what-they-mean-ii\/?share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-reddit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-reddit sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.harmonicminer.com\/wordpress\/2008\/08\/24\/what-they-say-vs-what-they-mean-ii\/?share=reddit\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Reddit\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.harmonicminer.com\/wordpress\/2008\/08\/24\/what-they-say-vs-what-they-mean-ii\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to print (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>California has enacted a law called &#8220;The Safely Surrendered Baby Law&#8221;.
