Steem Cameroon Poetry Contest Season 5: ABORTION

source
Hello guys, it very cool to share content on this platform again. It's been quite some time. Really thankful for the wondeful chance created by @steemcameroon for creative minds to come together and share opinion on a crucial subject matter that is a day to day event every where not just in Cameroon but the world also. I hope to help us learn one or 2things from this post as we all reflect extensively, my opinion is not necessarily reality or the right one, but as we all reflect let us share our opinions.

     #1. What is Abortion all about?

Abortion is simply the exit of product of conception( Fetus or the embryo) from the womb or Uterus before a set age estimated as the Viable( survival out of the uterus) age.
In Developed countries it is estimated at 22weeks, but in developing countries like us in Cameroon it is estimated at 28weeks of pregnancy. or about at least 7 months of pregnancy.

-The first circumstance of exit can be caused by natural problems for example( chromosome problems, domestic acvidents, other risk factors like age), which we generally call miscarriage.

-Then we have the second circumstance where the mother doesn't want to carry the baby, so she induces the exit, can be using drugs mainly or some herbal plants and other Technics by medical practitioners.

NB: We should note that Abortion is illegal in our setting Cameroon and strictly prohibited by the Law

this leads us to

       *#2 HOW HAS ABORTION
        AFFECTED THE SOCIETY.*

source

From a statistic point of view of abortion, it is responsible for close to 12% of maternal death in women with children in the country.
we may say 12% is small but in 100,000 women 12% is 12000 women imagine 12000 women guys going away in this issue,
Society has lost the bright minds, lost great people , in the religous, financial, political, moral , infact name all the sectors this children would have grown up to occupy.
on the other hand the age range of the girls who undergo this act usually varies mostly between 18 to about 25 years old,
in their death they did the society too of great people or also terrible people anyway.

In as much as society looses, no coin has only one face or one side, so society gains from abortion for example if atleast 10 million babies are aborted a year, it helps decrease world population and world suffering, in China there is not enough to eat, in Haiti many can barely get through life, so in one way the act alongside, wars, and other inhuman actions help recycle the population of the earth and keep it stable.

#3.Finally I will be presenting to us a 
      little poem on Abortion titled:
               
             *NO CHANCE*

It's kind of harsh, as he or she had no chance, and though we stand for or against a thousand times, we might not find the right balance.

Let's fake a trance though and as we enhance our vision into the picture of possibility and see a Governor, and see the inventor and why not a Doctor or even a Prosecutor.
We might also find a friend , a child to send, an incredible talent, gushed out before 28 weeks of existence, so painful.

No chance at all to see the skies littered with stars and the firmament with the beautiful clouds, The suns rise and birds chants in the skies and the Sea a wonder to look upon.
Absolutely no chance to write their story wether good or bad, no chance to become a Napoleon or a Lincoln , a Patrice Lumumba or even a normal child impacting his society in anyway.

Abortion being intentional is irrational as it pauses on the present and kills the Future that could restructure the puncture in our different Cultures,natures and help us match towards Stature.

Thank you all for your kind attention.
