Re: Head on the Bread Board
This was before abortions were legal, and the street ones were so dangerous that this was often the only option for families that couldn't afford another child - keep in mind that there was no birth control available and this was during WWII and tail end of the depression, so budgets were far tighter than we can really grasp today, and adoption wasn't really an option as the system was overflowing with unwanted kids. Also, gruesom as this is, it is still a kinder, swifter death than abandonment out in the open.
