Video: Springdale Moves Forward With Safe Haven Baby Boxes
The City of Springdale has moved forward with plans to install a Safe Haven Baby Box in one of its fire stations.
Baby born at 23 Weeks Left for Dead, Found Alive
Recently, a baby boy was born prematurely, at 23 weeks, in a Mexican hospital, with no vital signs. The doctor pronounced him dead and sent baby’s body to a refrigerator in the hospital morgue.
But when funeral workers arrived in the morgue six hours later to retrieve the body, they found that he was moving and crying.
They immediately sent for the father and the doctor and the moment was captured in a moving video. The father speaks to his son, ‘Here I am. Carry on fighting, little one, resist, my love. ‘Please God, accompany this little one, stay with him because he’s still alive.’”
And, incredibly, the baby is alive and well. Even more incredible is that here in Colorado, it would be perfectly legal to kill this baby in utero. And, in Massachusetts, lawmakers are debating whether doctors should be required to care for a baby like this out of the womb.
This baby’s humanity is obvious, even if we have lost ours.

Springdale Moves Forward With Pro-Life Safe Haven Baby Box
Last night the Springdale City Council discussed plans to install a Safe Haven Baby Box in one of the city’s fire stations, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
Arkansas’ Safe Haven Act protects children from being abandoned. It lets a woman surrender her newborn infant to law enforcement personnel, fire department personnel, or medical personnel without facing prosecution.
Similar laws are on the books in all 50 states.
Act 185 of 2019 by Sen. Cecile Bledsoe (R – Rogers) and Rep. Rebecca Petty (R – Rogers) improved Arkansas’ Safe Haven law; it lets fire stations install Safe Haven Boxes — sometimes called “baby boxes” — where women can anonymously place their newborn.
Last May a baby was safely surrendered using a Safe Haven Box at a fire station in Benton, Arkansas.
Laws like Arkansas’ Safe Haven Act protect the lives of unborn children by giving women options besides abortion.
It’s good to see cities like Springdale move forward with installing these Safe Haven Boxes in their communities.
