Baby Moses - A Moral Alternative to Abandoning Your Baby PSA; public domain video; public service announcement; PSA.

You Can Save This Baby

Of the over 100 babies who are abandoned each year in Texas, about 16 will be found dead. An unknown number of murdered babies are never found. There is a solution. A Texas law provides a responsible alternative to mothers who might otherwise abandon, harm or murder a newborn child. It states that a parent may leave an unharmed infant, up to 60 days old, at any hospital or fire station with no questions asked. This law is nicknamed "The Baby Moses Law" from the ancient story of baby Moses who was placed in a wicker basket by his mother to be saved from death and who then grew up to become an important person in history.

Since the legislature provided no funds to publicize this law, privately funded non-profit groups in every metropolitan area in Texas have instituted public awareness campaigns. In Dallas County this group is called Baby Moses Dallas.

Our basic goal is to prevent violence and abuse against unwanted babies. The two ways we're addressing this goal are by providing state mandated signs to all designated Safe Haven sites in Dallas County (hospitals and fire stations) and making the public aware of the law through advertising and education initiatives. Your tax deductible donation can help save a child.

We are an all volunteer organization dependent on support from people like you. Click here to learn about our goals. We are currently looking for a printer who is willing to print posters and other material to be placed in schools. For more information or to make a tax deductible donation please write:

  • That is so great!!!!! MOMS LISTEN!

  • the state of michigan also has a similar law

  • It took me a moment to work out this video was actually serious. It's nearly funny sounding! Thank-goodness their is this option :)

  • There is a better ways than this. Fall down stairs, have a friend FALCON PUUUNNNCH you in the unborn child, or simply kep your legs shut.

  • good spot. Although, it looks like she's running from something. Bad acting

  • It is a good thing. Hopefully women will use alternatives other than Planned Parenthood.

  • It is nice to know that there is real help out there for women who face crisis pregnancies. Hopefully, more women will utilize other alternatives other than planned parenthood. Let the babies be born :).
