Women's Health Advocacy Alliance (WHAA) is dedicated to protecting, promoting, and advancing the health, dignity, and well-being of women throughout every stage of life. We advocate for comprehensive, evidence-based, and compassionate healthcare that addresses the unique medical, reproductive, emotional, and aesthetic needs of women—from the neonatal period through adolescence, adulthood, the reproductive years, menopause, and geriatric care.

We recognize that the health of women is inseparable from the health of their families. Accordingly, we advocate for the family as a vital unit of care, supporting mothers, children, partners, and caregivers through education, prevention, and access to high-quality healthcare.

WHAA supports women in both medically necessary and elective healthcare decisions, including preventive medicine, contraception, maternity and postpartum care, gynecologic care, health optimization, wellness, and cosmetic surgery. We believe that every woman has the fundamental right to make informed decisions about her healthcare based on accurate, objective, balanced, and unbiased information.

Our cornerstone is truthful patient advocacy. We are committed to promoting meaningful Informed Consent by ensuring that patients receive a clear and honest understanding of the risks, benefits, indications, limitations, and reasonable alternatives associated with every medical and surgical treatment. We believe that transparency, integrity, and respect for patient autonomy are essential to ethical medical care.

Through education, advocacy, professional collaboration, and public awareness, WHAA strives to empower women and their families to make confident healthcare decisions while advancing the highest standards of medical ethics, patient safety, and compassionate care.

Baby Moses, Safe Haven Law

Under this law, if you have a newborn that you are unable to care for, you can bring your baby to a designated safe place with no questions asked. The Safe Haven law, also known as the Baby Moses law, gives parents who are unable to care for their child a safe and legal choice to leave their infant with an employee at a designated safe place—a hospital, fire station, free-standing emergency centers or emergency medical services (EMS) station. Then, your baby will receive medical care and be placed with an emergency provider.

The Baby Moses, Safe Haven law is specifically designed to support parents in making the responsible decision of giving their baby to child services without the fear of prosecution for abandonment or neglect. The alliance is here to assistant in this transition with counseling, support and assistance in making this difficult but important choice for the benefit of your baby.

Information for Parents
If you are thinking about bringing your baby to a designated Safe Haven, the following are important points to consider:

• Your baby must be 60 days old or younger and unharmed and safe.
• You may take your baby to any hospital, fire station, emergency medical services (EMS) station or designated child-agency in Texas.
• You need to give your baby to an employee who works at one of these safe places and tell this person that you want to leave your baby at a Safe Haven.
• You may be asked by an employee for family or medical history to make sure that your baby receives the care they need.
• You may designate a representative that can bring your baby to a Safe Haven location on your behalf. Although the alliance is not a Safe Haven location, we will assist you in taking your baby to a Safe Haven location or act as your representative and bring your baby to a safe haven location on your behalf.

Remember, If you or your representative leave your unharmed infant at a Safe Haven location or ask us to assistance you as your representative in bringing your infant to a safe haven location, you will not be prosecuted for abandonment or neglect.
