Monica Kelsey’s Safe Haven Baby Boxes allow parents to anonymously surrender infants at designated facilities in the U.S. Advocates view them as a compassionate alternative to abandonment or abortion. Despite their growing presence, critics highlight the lack of credible data on their impact. The Supreme Court has referenced such laws as a solution to pregnancy issues, but many women who are denied abortions prefer parenting to adoption or relinquishment. Historical contexts reveal past harms linked to anonymous relinquishment, raising concerns about the implications of framing these boxes as effective solutions.
Supporters frame baby drop boxes as a beautiful solution for all parties involved, though there is no reliable data supporting these assertions.
The Supreme Court case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization suggested safe haven laws as a solution for unwanted pregnancy, overlooking women's choices.
