Safe Surrender Law
•The law allows parents to
safely surrender their child
within 72 hours of the baby
being born.
• That way, the parents will not
be prosecuted for
abandonment and the baby is
protected from harm.
•The child can be taken to a
private or public hospital or
some fire departments.

“Despite the law, babies are still abandoned in
unsafe ways or are only discovered after it is
too late. From state information, there is still at
least one baby a month abandoned in an
unsafe way in California … and those are only
the ones we know about”
Joe Albert Garcia, an assistant professor in the Human Services
Department at Cal State Fullerton , 2/2011

Left to right: contraceptive sponge; vaginal douche; medicated tampon; animal gut condom.
Vaginal douches were a contraceptive measure involving the flushing of the woman's vagina
after sexual intercourse. Tampons are small pads of lint or other material, that have been
used by women throughout the ages, and are designed to be inserted into the vagina to stem
the flow of blood during menstruation. The sponge is a device comprising a small natural or
synthetic sponge (sometimes soaked in vinegar or lemon juice) which would be inserted
prior to intercourse as a barrier method of contraception. Condoms were first used in the
16th century. Originally made from linen or animal intestine, they are now made of latex.
