That is effects on individuals, the baby and society.  The first effects is cause by illegal way of aborting the child and left a bad effect on them.

It is because of the wrong path, so they use to abort the baby. This situation will give the individual high risk of death caused by bleeding and infection on mothers womb's. 

Women who are involved in abortion without proper medical procedures take high risks of death. It is because the infection and bleeding in the uterus can cause the woman to be unconscious or worse, death.

The effect of baby is make the mortality higher due to medical care is not perfect. According to statistics infant mortality by inresponsible person 2 years ago, the problem had increased to 135 case from 2008 to 2009.

Last week, i read some article about baby abandonment and that is what i can take note.

The convention on the Rights of the child was that children have nights and responsibilities suitable to their level and age of development. The comunity that is caring with them should do what is best for them.

According to the Convention, we should get ready to take care of children, teenager or the dumping of baby.

                       Firstly, we must underline the issue of reason many teenagers are being pregnant. This time they have peer pressure, adult hope and controlling of media. They are highly exposed to risky ways not allowed pregnancies and others. So, to prevent this problem, we must guarantee that boys know about gender education and respect for women and girls.

                     Secondly, the services to support girls and boys should be available to prevent or decrease the unwanted pregnancies. Young girls need guidance from counselor on manner to manage their condition. So they can further studies without thinking hard about that problems.

   

                   Last but not least, teenagers should know about options and services. Parents and teachers should have responsibilities to make teenagers have skill-based learning and the best knowledge to get right choice.

 So, what about we? What we should to do? Hurm......think about it. :) 

HELP DISTRESSED PREGNANT WOMEN

KUALA LUMPUR: Reach out to distressed pregnant women instead of using capital punishment against those who dump unwanted babies, said MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek.

“If we do not help them and resort to punishing them, then we are treating women who abandoned their babies as criminals,” he said.

Dr Chua said if capital punishment is introduced, it could force women to commit other drastic crimes such as burying the babies alive to conceal their wrongdoings.

“If society does not reach out to the pregnant women, they would have no choice but to hide, abandon or bury their babies alive,” he said after chairing the MCA central committee meeting at Wisma MCA yesterday.

Women, Family and Community Develop­ment Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil said on Thursday the Cabinet had agreed to her ministry’s proposal that anyone whose baby died after being dumped could be tried for murder and sentenced to death.

Concern: Shahrizat taking a closer look at four-day-old Liya Marissa Mohd Huzaiba at the maternity ward of Kuala Lumpur Hospital Friday. Dr Chua said a baby hatch for mothers to leave their newborn for adoption would be a better alternative.

“You need a centre to provide counselling. It can also be a channel for people to adopt abandoned babies,” he said.

Meanwhile, Shahrizat said three more cases of babies being abandoned were reported, one each in Kelantan, Malacca and Kuala Lumpur, besides the 60 cases reported to the ministry so far.

She said the authorities must view baby dumping seriously because it was becoming rampant.

“Do not take such cases lightly,” she said after visiting the maternity ward of the Kuala Lumpur Hospital yesterday.

She added that parents should not blame others if their daughters became pregnant but instead support them in times of distress.

She urged those with problems, especially youngsters who conceive out of wedlock, to contact the Nur 1599 hotline for assistance and counselling.

At another function, the prime minister’s wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor said local universities should conduct comprehensive studies on rampant baby dumping in the country to check the problem.

“If we know why this problem happens, then we’ll be in a better position to take appropriate measures to overcome it,” she said.

Speaking to reporters after talking over the phone with 1Malaysia Putra Club chairman Datuk Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim on the humanitarian aid mission to Gaza, Rosmah said parents should also spend more time with their children and be aware of their development and movements.
