Residents of Okosi Road in Onitsha, Anambra State woke up to a most gruesome sight Sunday Morning. On top of a pile of rubbish in a garbage dump lay the dead bodies of a set of twin babies. It was obvious that they were just a couple of hours old. Still covered in fluid and placenta still intact. People flocked to the scene as the ghastly story quickly spread. So far, there are no leads concerning the identity of the mother and it still remains a horrible
mystery.
Freshly Born……….
As much as I know the backlash that this statement would bring, I believe that abortion would have been a better option for the mother of this kids. Even though a baby is a baby from the first day, taking a decision to eliminate the foetus before four (4) months would have been a better idea, bad though it might be, but not as bad as this cruel and inhuman act.
Whatever happened to adoption, as an option? Granted, there are several reasons why people might not want to keep a baby, rape, abuse, etc, but if one can carry the child to full term as these have been, they could have also elected to foster them in a home.
This is really sad and horrific, when people the world over, are praying for children. Smh .*enraged.
