Did Your Daughter Have an Abortion?

Getting pregnant when you are unmarried must be one of the most challenging experiences a young girl has to face.

Most likely her lover will quickly disappear from the scene after having had his fun and the poor girl has to cope on her own. Many parents are unsympathetic and sometimes the girl is able to hide her condition until the baby arrives.

That is when depression and remorse sets in and the young mother may resort to desperate measures that may even result in murder or suicide.

Many choose the quick solution and go for an abortion as reported in this brief article.

I heard this on BBC Radio - in the UK, a mother is fighting against laws that allow those above 16 to have an abortion without their parents’ knowledge.

I find the Malaysian doctor’s remark rather callous. “The more advanced the pregnancy, the more expensive the abortion will cost,” he added.

It sounds as if for money, he will do anything.
The newspaper should inform the police and get the scoop on the investigation.
