Abortion is not a crime. I know many won’t perceive that. Okay abortion is more than a crime, it’s a sin. This comes as a day or so ago in Moi university campus when a lady passed on during abortion. What a misfortune, unsuccessful abortion. Before I spit anything else “May her soul rest in eternal peace”. This is really frustrating. A lady who has been in school for a long time, parents investments; who have spent on her a lot since kindergarten only to die desperately when pursuing her degree.
Anyway, that one is not a point of discussion let us try to analyze and evaluate critically why she did so. First and foremost is pressure from the parents. Most parents today are so harsh and wont stomach any cases of early pregnancy. But let us take a look at this perspective. This is a lady in campus; she is over 18 years of age, an adult but living in fear of her parents. Okay parents I know you have a role to ensure their complacency and indiscipline is condoned. But what are the after effects of being harsh? I’m sure if parents are friendly the ladies will give birth then life continues as normal.
