A Lexington woman accused of abandoning her newborn baby on the front porch of a home was arraigned on Thursday afternoon.

23-year-old Ashlee Stephens is charged with abandonment of a minor.

Three weeks ago, police say Stephens left her day-old baby in a laundry basket outside a home on Lincoln Avenue.

The baby is now doing OK. Investigators say Stephens had no connection to the home where she left the baby.

In court on Wednesday, Stephens had her attorney enter a not guilty plea on her behalf. Stephens is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on August 6th.

At least this young person did leave the baby on the porch of a home were it would receive care instead of in a garbarge dumpster. She may not have had any insight or informatiion on what her options would be.

Look at the bright side at least she did not have a abortion cut its head off in the womb while some Doctor got paid for interior womb child decapitation, when we look at it this way it does make it seem a little more merciful anyway it cant be that bad Moses got dropped off in Egypt for a while until God had him do what he sent him there to do I wander what is this child's Job in Kentucky?
