My satire on child abandoment wasn't satirical enough

I just learned about Nebraska's safe-have laws a couple of days ago while talking with our department's Systems Administrator, and now we have this. It is sad that parents would come to Nebraska to abandon their children, but should we be surprised?

We live in a society that hates children. Oh, there are plenty of people remaining who see children as blessings, but our society itself hates children. They get in the way of careers and free time and all the promiscuous, mind-blowing sex we think we should be having. It isn't any wonder that there are 1.5 million abortions a year in the U.S., and that a tragically high percentage of babies with identifiable problems are killed because of the inconvenience they would cause.

I suppose the cynic in me is surprised that more children are dumped off at Nebraska hospitals. Maybe most people feel that if they stick with it through pregnancy and the first year or so, they may as well continue.
