On this subject, there are 3 main opinions which I summarized:
1. Abandoned babies happened due to declining moral value in the society.
2. This decline in moral is most likely because of the lack of good religious knowledge.
3. Harsh punishments are required to deter this from recurring.
4. We must educate our youngsters with the right values to prevent this.
I have to say I agree 101% with all these opinions.
1. Yes. It is really immoral specifically of the parents, generally of the good society to reject a pregnant teenager and her unborn baby. What has this world become of? As far as I know, our good Iban society in Sarawak hasn’t faced abandoned babies problem for centuries. Why? They accept the mother and baby without a frown. The same goes to the good Eskimo people and some African tribes who we usually labeled as “less civilized”. Well, who is more civilized in terms of compassion?
2. Yes. The bad influence must have stemmed from lack of good religious values. The Holy Scriptures promote unconditional love and asks us to have compassion for all human being and even animals. “Love your enemies”. Every week, these same people bow and pray to the Mighty Creator and vow to uphold HIS teaching. Yet, they rejected their own teenage daughter and abandoned them at times when they needed their parents most.
3. Yes. Harsh punishments are required to cap all this immoral activities. Find those fuckers (literally speaking) and punish them for impregnating underage girls. Did I hear you said “CASTRATION”?
4. Yes. Give them good sex education. Let them know how a baby is made. More importantly, teach them how not to make a baby. Equip them with the necessary knowledge to face the real and cruel world out there, especially those who cloaked under a robe and carry a holy book wherever they go.
Now consider this case: she was probably 15 years old and was engaged to a nice young man. Before they got married, she was found pregnant and the father of the child was not known.
What should us the moral defender do to her to show it as an example to the rest of the teenage girls?
Her fiancé would have abandoned her as well as her parents, and the baby would most likely be found in a rubbish dump. She would be charged for immoral activity and baby dumping. The baby would probably not survive.
There's a tiny problem here: Her name was Mary and she named her baby Jesus.
Now, do you see my point, dear Moral Upholders?
