Because they're afraid of abortion. The pastors and imams sing choruses against it

Qmab:
but still, shouldn't it be 'the lesser of two evils'.

ireneidiva:

Meaning?

FitnessNigeria:


I'm still looking for where any name or religion is mentioned in this article, kindly point me to the fact that convinced you that the idiot that dumped this baby is a christian..

Or are you suffering fro short sightedness or are you brain dead?

SAMBARRY:
the hypocrisy is terrible


so when the choir master is singing so we lift up holy hands in one accord singing blessed be the name of the Lord. They too will lift up hands soiled in blood. This is so inhumane.




even Americans that don't take religion, morals or Christianity too seriously are not this debased when it comes to human lives.what a pity



Can you imagine

ayayo:
It is so sad. But the baby may be dead before dumping it. She may not know how to go about discarding it appropriately.

donbenedict:
Her punishment in hell will be to give birth to sixtuplets evryday...

mmsen:
This is what happens when stupid people keep preaching that 'children are a gift from god'.

Children are a responsibility and many people are not prepared for such.

If they need contraceptives then they should be able to get them without feeling any guilt or shame.

If they need to abort the fetus then let them, that is better than this - this is murder.

Lanadelrey:

True!!! Pro-Choice is the way to be. They won't legalize abortion. They won't provide a running foster care system to ensure unwanted babies are cared for. I really don't know what Pro-life underdeveloped Nigeria expects of these women who are forced to undertake a responsibility they obviously don't want. This will keep happening till a rational stand is taken on unwanted pregnancies.

babyosisi:
What are the alternatives for unwanted babies
Unless Nigeria can provide a viable alternative where these young mothers can drop off unwanted babies without repercussions,no questions asked,babies will continue to be sold and thrown under bridges.
It's easy to condemn the mother and criminalize her actions and rightly so but how do we prevent future occurrences?
There are ministries of women affairs,what is their say on this matter and why can't they devise a plan to end this
The truth is that there are people with babies they didn't plan for and don't want to keep.
The earlier the country addressed that the better
Here in the USA a mother can take a baby to any hospital emergency room,police station or fire station ,drop it off and walk away,no questions asked.She can call and say where she left the baby and state that she doesn't want it and she won't be termed a criminal.
Is there any public service announcement on what these girls in Nigeria can do

WukedP:

VintageCocktail:
A newly born baby still on Nightingale's towel......smh. I don't think the mother did this, probably the attendant that delivered the baby, father or a friend to somebody. The mother might be somewhere recuperating the effect of the labour pangs oblivious of the whole scenario or might be an accomplice.
