Last night, after dinner, my parents and Buy Ativan From India I sat watching TV, and at some point, the local TV station showed an Buy Ativan From India orphanage. I find the way we treat orphans highly linked to Buy Ativan From India our claims to any sense of humanity and humaneness, but like so many other things, I rarely think about the Buy Ativan From India reasons babies end up in orphanages. Of course we normally hear about AIDS orphans in east and Buy Ativan From India southern Africa; last night, I heard about the breed that Buy Ativan From India people generally know exist, but that they nevertheless almost never actually talk about, think about or Buy Ativan From India discuss.
Babies on the dunghill…
I asked my mother about how children end up in orphanages. She said that Buy Ativan From India it was largely because many of the kids were abandoned. I further asked about how common it Buy Ativan From India is for children to be abandoned. She told me that it Buy Ativan From India was really more common than people realise. She told me that Buy Ativan From India a kid was found a couple of days ago at a Buy Ativan From India dunghill close to a panel-beater’s shop. The baby was eventually taken to Buy Ativan From India the local federal hospital where my mother works.
…and at the motor park
I further wondered how it Buy Ativan From India was possible for a person to be pregnant and give birth without anyone knowing. My mother then Buy Ativan From India told me the story of a particular lady. The lady was staying in the Buy Ativan From India home of a couple, sleeping in the same room with the Buy Ativan From India couples children. The mother woke up during one night to hear the Buy Ativan From India cry of her child in the room the lady shared with the Buy Ativan From India children. She got to the room, found that the lady was not there, took care of the Buy Ativan From India crying child and decided to check where the lady was. She checked the Buy Ativan From India bathroom and found traces of blood on the ground. She traced the Buy Ativan From India blood from the bathroom out of the house to a motor park close to Buy Ativan From India the house. She found the lady holding a child, still unbathed, about to Buy Ativan From India leave it at the park. My mother told me the story to Buy Ativan From India illustrate that it was possible to be pregnant without it actually being exactly obvious.
What are the causes?
Why do people have kids that they can’t keep? According to Buy Ativan From India my mother, it often happens when the mothers have tried to Buy Ativan From India abort their pregnancies and have not been successful. Why are they not successful? I think it Buy Ativan From India is because they do not consult experts when they try to Buy Ativan From India abort their pregnancies. Why is that? Because abortion is Buy Ativan From India illegal in Nigeria. Well, that is not exactly true. Abortion is Buy Ativan From India not illegal in Nigeria, but one needs to get the signature of two medical doctors who Buy Ativan From India are willing to say that the pregnancy endangers the life of the Buy Ativan From India woman. But that is not a solution for most of the Buy Ativan From India women who abandon their children. That group is largely made up of women whose main reasons for Buy Ativan From India not wanting to raise a child are economic.
What to do right now?
I really find it Buy Ativan From India hard to think of any solution to stop women from abandoning their babies, but I can Buy Ativan From India think of a way to make sure the babies abandoned do not die. Sometime ago I watched a Buy Ativan From India news item about a hospital in Germany where is it possible to Buy Ativan From India leave unwanted babies in such a way as to make sure that Buy Ativan From India one is unobserved, but that someone is quickly alerted that a Buy Ativan From India baby has been left at the stand. The mother can leave unobserved; the Buy Ativan From India baby can stay alive.
If we cannot change the economy ‘right now’ what can we do? I think the Buy Ativan From India kind of system that the German hospital has would definitely be Buy Ativan From India a good place to start. I also think that pro-choice clinics should be Buy Ativan From India available in Nigeria. Of course, that needs legislation. I don’t know how that Buy Ativan From India can be swung right now but I strongly think they should be Buy Ativan From India available. And there should be a massive campaign in the media to Buy Ativan From India inform people in such desperate situations about where they can get help. At this Buy Ativan From India point, I wonder what on earth those well-funded NGOs that work on family health, women issues and Buy Ativan From India allied fields do. I think there certainly are issues other than Buy Ativan From India HIV.
