A SHAMEFUL ACT It is very important that individuals know each and every decision they make have either the positive results or negative results. Being ready for anything sometimes helps. it is a shameful thing to see someone involve themselves in unprotected sex and they become pregnant then later they terminate the pregnancy. In every state or country there are laws that govern the proceedings of the country. In Botswana abortion is an illegal act. Even though this is the case here we still see some people committing abortion as if it is a normal thing that is supported by the law. Batswana should know that abortion in Botswana is illegal and for as long as someone is in Botswana they should respect that. First of all it is very unsafe to commit abortion. Backyard abortion is the most dangerous one. People use different, dangerous objects to kill their babies. Some hire traditional doctors to get them muti to get away with the innocent soul. In most cases we see the youth indulge themselves in sex relations knowing well what might happen and later when they find out that they are pregnant they start the process of abortion. We have lost a lot the youth who our beloved country depend on for tomorrow’s leadership because of this shameful act. Sometimes trying to kill this unborn child ends up taking both the mother and the child. Some die right there while some die at a later stage in life. Even though this is the case, it should be taken into consideration that not all people are restricted from abortion. We live in a world that is ill, society where some men do not respect women enough to rape them. Women who have been raped have the right to terminate the pregnancy when all has gone through the right procedures these women are helped in hospitals, the right way to avoid complications.

It is all a shameful act for someone to kill an innocent soul. Remember that someone out there is trying so hard to have a child. A child is a blessing from God. Sometimes God would give you just that one child. Imagine you abort that child then later you ask God for a child and he replies, “Remember that child I gave you and you killed, that was your one and only child.”
