Lately, storylines comprising unwanted pregnancies have been doing the rounds.
Firstly we have Thembi, the young writer with her bright future ahead of her, regrettably falling pregnant with the Womaniser Dj Ngwazi's baby.
Secondly Sindi a teenager barely out of pampers herself, left by her Baby daddy to fend for herself and her unborn child.
Thirdly, a young school girl, who had to drop out school to care for her baby, who has no plans on completing her high school career.
The question arises, concerning both fictional scenarios which mirror reality, is ABORTION a logical option?
This brutal Act can be described as the forced removal of an unborn foetus due to unfortunate circumstances which are not conducive to its existence.
From a moral point of view abortion is unacceptable and has no basis nor tolerance in the Bible. It is described as the unforgivable spilling of innocent blood and cannot be condoned .
From a non-religious viewpoint abortion is a realistic and viable option for women who have no means to support an unplanned pregnancy.
Factually 126 000 babies are aborted everyday worldwide and 46 million babies are aborted every year worldwide, that is equal to South Africa’s total population.
Legalized in Mzantsi, a bill has been passed that children as young as 12, may have abortions without their parents consent. Arguably this could lead to a raise in abortions among the 12-17 year old age group as young women have been found to use abortion as a contraceptive method.
Clearly The Governments efforts at informing the masses of Abstinence, Faithfulness and Utilization of condoms are falling short, as women have to deal with the harsh reality of Abortion as a choice.
