Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a law extending Florida's infant surrender law to allow a 30-day surrender period up from seven days of age. The law also allows the mother to call 911 for a direct surrender to first responders.
Florida lawmakers passed legislation to expand the state’s safe haven law, which has already led to success stories, and make it easier for mothers in crisis situations to legally surrender their infants.
'It is with great sorrow that I learned today of the unsettling discovery of the body of an unborn baby,' described by police as a ‘late-term fetus,’ Bishop Michael Burbidge stated, urging the faithful to pray for the deceased child.
