Each state has the duty to determine the fate of the unborn and other vulnerable citizens. We all have the grave responsibility to understand and vote to protect life. Our state has been traditionally pro-life, however, pressures to change are being applied. Your understanding of the laws is critical so that you can wisely vote. We aspire to have shortcuts on our website to assist you for legislative updates. Links to your representatives to communicate will also be available. Protection of life is fundamental to our existence and the future of our nation. <\/span>See our petition page here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The City of La Porte is receiving Indiana\u2019s 119th Safe Haven Baby Box. La Porte Fire Station #2 is inviting the community to attend the blessing of their Safe Haven Baby Box on April 11.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

The event will occur at 115 E. Shore Court, in La Porte at noon.<\/span><\/div><\/div>

La Porte Fire Chief, Andy Snyder stated, \u201cInstalling a Safe Haven Baby Box has been a goal of our department for quite some time now, and we are so glad to finally have this incredible resource in our community. We are very grateful to the family of Congresswoman Jackie Walorski for their contribution to and support of this project in her memory. Thanks to them, we can now rest assured that mothers in need throughout our community have a place to turn to.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cPaul\u2019s Construction aided the mission by installing the Baby Box pro bono,\u201d Safe Haven Baby Box said in a press release. \u201cIndiana Department of Homeland Security majorly funded the project with assistance from Impact International Inc. and the Walorski Family.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

Mayor Tom Dermody shared, \u201cFire Chief Andy Snyder and his team have worked diligently to bring this very important resource to our community. This box has the potential to save and change many lives in our community over the next several years, and we are proud to join the growing movement across the country to provide a Safe Haven for mothers and babies in need.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>

\u201cWhen the door of the Baby Box opens a silent alarm sounds alerting first responders, along with when the infant is placed in the bassinet, and when the door shuts, automatically locking, according to Safe Haven Baby Boxes. \u201cThe infant will immediately be transported to the hospital for medical evaluation and the baby will be with their adoptive family soon.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>
