Mike: What's new?
Sonia: You know what a "baby hatch" is?
Mike: A place to hatch babies?
Sonia: Of course not! It's a place mothers can drop off newborn babies they can't care for. According to a China Post news report, a Japanese hospital opened the country's first baby hatch for unwanted infants on May 10th.
Mike: I don't thing a "baby hatch" is a good idea. Mothers shouldn't give birth to a baby and abandon him. They have to take responsibility.
Sonia: I can't agree anymore. But think about it. Do you think deserting a baby on the roadside is better than deserting it in a baby hatch?
Mike: You're right, a baby hatch is indeed the lesser of two evils.

解析: give birth to==生了小寶寶

the lesser of two evils=兩害取其輕
