Safe Haven Laws Do Not Promote Sex
Back in 2004 this girl, Ashley Truitt, denying she was pregnant all along, gave birth on vacation and threw the baby down a 7 story garbage chute. She is currently serving 13 years for aggravated manslaughter. Now she is serving her time and promotes Safe Haven laws, but I was not a fan of what […]
