Yes if you have a one year old, you have plenty of time to have figured something else out or someone else to notice and gotten help.

She had just given birth outside on one of our coldest days of the season while having mental health issues and being an addict. Its hard for people in even the best health/conditions to think properly after birth while in a warm hospital on pain meds and looked after by doctors.

I’m just pro-woman and have basic empathy, because she was here first and she probably couldn’t even consent to being pregnant. It’s just wild to me that you can be walking around as a homeless addict and no one cares, then one day you wind up pregnant (maybe from sexual assault as is common in these settlements) and your body does its thing without you getting a say, your body gives birth in horrible circumstances and you’re just trying to survive, then all of a sudden you’re charged as a felon by the same people who were fine with you freezing to death when it was just you.

Yeah the misogyny in these comments is unsettling but not surprising. Homeless people freeze/starve/overdose all the time and no one cares, but all of a sudden an iNnoCeNt bAbY is involved and everyone is all shocked pikachu face that a young homeless addict in need of immediate post-partum/medical/rehab care maybe didn't make the best decision with regards to its well-being. She probably knew she'd get into legal trouble and get it taken away, which is why she tried to prevent them from finding it.

I just feel terrible that she had to literally give birth outside in the cold but "pro-lifers" can't see the connection between taking care of homeless adults and taking care of any potential children. And now they want to charge her as a felon for endangerment when they didn't care whether she lived or died before. Another example why access to contraception and abortion is healthcare.

I have the same question as a nearly lifelong resident lol. It’s not so much that the houses are dated and depressing meth pits. It’s that they also cost $400K plus for the most nightmare inducing interiors you’ve seen in your life.
