Would it be possible for some colleges to run 24 hour daycare systems? [View All]

[Boojatta]

Some faculty or other employees and some students might require daycare services. Having daycare on campus can be convenient. However, beyond mere convenience, there would be an opportunity for faculty specializing in child development to conduct observational studies. Note: that means no experimentation, just observation. Of course, if anything seemed amiss, then there could be intervention by notifying daycare management or parents or guardians or law enforcement authorities.

Financing is a concern for some women who choose abortion. However, if a pregnant woman had her health checked and made statutory declarations about her practices during pregnancy (e.g. she didn't use any substances hazardous to the fetus), then a college-run 24 hour daycare center could accept responsibility for the baby.

The responsibility would be, first, to attempt to arrange adoption. If that failed, then the 24 hour daycare center would provide as much or as little direct care as the mother/family/guardians wished, at no cost to the mother.

Perhaps the general idea above is already too specific and too flawed. However, it seems to me that people (such as Huckabee) who complain that there are too many abortions might consider something like the above rather than the tyrannical approach that was practiced in Romania when it was essentially a colony of the USSR.
