Abortion and abandonment of babies by their mothers....

pray for this child.

Your parents and my parents are the best of the best in this world. For they have been loving us and caring us with their whole hearts since our entrance into this beautiful world besides having given us the most precious gift-a life!. Not only did they give us a full and happy life but also sacrificed everything for our goodness. Together, they have undergone the phases of weariness and exhaustion as to make our lives a better life. How fortunate we are to have such loving parents! We ought be grateful for our parents. All and above, we must be prideful for having both the parents.

But not every parent is as  loving and caring as mine and yours. Not every kid is as fortunate as you and I. For, there are thousand and thousands of babies who are being abandoned by their parents-some at very young age and some,as soon as they were born. And it is really disheartening to hear and know such heartless acts. There are so many cases of child abandonment and abortion worldwide. And it is more hurting to know that our younger ladies regardless of educated or uneducated are the ones who do these two atrocious practices. These are not only the serious crimes but also it is against our religions and human values.

We all have a conviction that life is so precious and is hard to get. But now in this contemporary world, life is becoming one of the worthless items where we can find in the garbage, drains, toilets, bags and all. And also birth places are gradually shifting from hospitals and homes to toilets and the streets. Moreover, it is also beyond our imagination, a mother murdering her own baby. Such things are sheer insanity and craziness. For instance,there was a school girl,who the policemen found out a dead body of a baby inside her carrying bag. She was found to have killed her new born baby. she was not the one who did such thing. There were so many like her where some has delivered the baby inside the toilet and flushed away, some has dumped into the drain and some has just left in an open area. There are so many such cases all over the globe.

I am sure you will be appalled to know some of the following such cases which are recorded in 2013 by the LifeSite News.

  • October 17 - A 17-year-old girl is stopped at a Victoria's Secret store in Manhatten for suspected shoplifting, and admits that in her bag she has the body of a baby that she gave birth to the day previous. 
  • October 11 - A newborn baby is found, bleeding but alive, abandoned on the concrete in the back yard of a house in Queen's, New York. The baby survived. 
  • September 19 - The body of a baby is found at a garbage dump in West Yorkshire, in the United Kingdom.
  • August 28 - A woman gives birth in a bar bathroom in Pennsylvania, stuffs the baby in the water tank of a toilet, and then returns to the bar to watch a fight on TV. 
  • August 7 - The body of a baby is discovered at hospital rest room in Texas. 
These are the only few out of many. According to the survey, it is found out that the main reasons or the causes of such practices are: teenage pregnancies and the poverty. While there could be also other reasons. So, it is not only the girls to be put at blames. We are also responsible for it and also it is our responsibilities to culminate and curb such inhuman practices. Together we can make this world a better place to live in and let's value the preciousness of one's life. May every child live a full life and may every mother or parents give their kids a boundless love and care. 
Today as I went through BBC news as I do normally, I came across a news where a mother has dumped her new born baby into the drain and she ran away,in Sydney. So, I became quite emotional and thought of sharing my views thinking that it is worth- sharing.
