Abortion cases

Abortion cases

From Pelita

The recent discovery of 11 aborted babies that were dumped under the Warakas flyover in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta has caused a commotion in society. Investigation has so far led to two obstetricians, two clinics in Tanah Tinggi, Central Jakarta, a meat-ball seller who assisted in dumping the aborted fetuses, a midwife and a gardener of a school for the disabled located behind the Anglican Church near the Patung Tani traffic circle in Central Jakarta.

According to Republika daily, abortion clinics are increasing in Jl. Paseban Dalam, Kramat 6 and its surroundings. Abortion fees are reported to range from Rp 100,000 to Rp 500,000.

The community has complained about the immoral practice. It should be regretted that the obstetricians' expertise is not being used for good but for killing human beings. They have become paid murderers in the guise of professional dress. They are devils wearing the clothes of angels.

Some of the mothers were forced to resort to abortion with the approval of their husbands, but some did it quietly. Those who go through with an abortion usually recommend their friends to do the same at the same clinics. This is all the consequence of the intensification of the family planning program which is contrary to human rights and religious values. Ulemas were induced to agree to the family planning drive and they were manipulated into agreeing to vasectomies and other birth control methods. Those who were willing to practice vasectomies were then offered the chance to go on the haj free of charge. This is a total abuse of religion.

Now that these sins have been uncovered after having been committed for years the time has arrived for those concerned to admit and terminate their sinful acts.
