    Yes, because that baby is helpless and is her responsibility to take care of. It’s also an actual person, not a potential person like a fetus is.

      What if she was impregnated against her will? What if she was forced to birth the child against her will? Is it still her responsibility?

        It is her responsibility to make sure the baby isn’t just being left to die somewhere, yes. If she wants to take it somewhere where others will take care of it, so be it. But it is NEVER right to “simply walk away.”

          Yeah, there’s no excuse for dumpster babies when it is so easy to leave them with responsible people who will ensure the child grows up safe, in a loving home.

            While it’s not easy to find safe, loving homes, at least give the kid a chance at life rather than dooming it to a horrible death.
