Heartless mothers

We have heard and seen a lot of news lately here in our country that mothers are leaving their newly born babies anywhere..either dead or alive. There was one overseas Filipino Worker who left her baby in the garbage bin of an airport. Two mothers leaving her new born baby outside the church and a fetus as well. Another dead baby seen in the comfort room of a ship in which the mother accidental left inside as what she said..but i think it was really intentional. I have heard another news just yesterday that a fetus was seen in a small box with a rosary and a 5 peso coin in the baby's hand. And the news says there have already been 4 cases of fetus seen in Metro Manila alone.
Our lives are a gift from God, these lives that they have killed are gifts from God..little angels as we know them. They don't have the right to take it away even from these fetus and newborn babies. Unwanted or planned, we should bare in mind that we are not the ones to judge whether to end their live or not.
Why are there so many incidents like these lately? Why are there a lot of unwanted pregnancies these days? Why are there mothers who are so heartless to have their babies aborted and just throw or leave it anywhere? didn't they know that each babies lives are so important and precious to just have it wasted? Do they think that they are already free of the burden once these babies are out of their hands?

I believe they don't know that. It's awful thinking about the thought. Every life should be treated fairly. They don't know what they're doing.

Hey, don't blame us guys. The baby won't be conceived if the girl doesn't wanna do it..

I think out of depression and faith in God, mother's do this to their own children. I am not really a kid lover, but I don't want this to happen. Babies are gift from God so we have to take care of it and love it. I once nearly taken away from my mother's tummy, I am the youngest of 8 and she say's she can't bear to give birth again. She tried to ask someone to get rid of me but she can't afford the amount at the time so she decided to keep me. Her confession is not like what we see in the drama movie, it was casual. I didn't felt any anger in my heart, cause I know and understand her, but still its not the right thing to do.
I just really hope that parents, specially mothers will be courageous enough to fight for their child's life and will stop doing this horrific things.

Yes you are right, these mothers may lack faith in God and i should say faith in themselves. They don't trust their capabilities that they can have the baby born even if they don't have money or for whatever reason that may be. God has plans why your mother didn't take your life when you were still in your mom's womb..good thing your mom will never carry the burden if she ever did continue the deed. Thanks for sharing :)

The least that I can do it to murder or kill a human. I am still thankful to my mother that they tried their very best to give me education although I didn't have a degree. The best thing to do is to keep the child no matter what. I hope real friends of them will give them good advices so they will turn into the right path.

we don't need to have a degree to know what is right and what is wrong, laniekins.
it is clear that we can't kill people nor babies!yeah i agree with you that they need support and advices from people surrounding.early education like your mother did is the great thing that everyone should do.we should teach the kids since young so they will know what is good and bad for themselves.

Hi. gaiza12. I ask myself this question each and every time. I don't know why mothers will give birth to a baby and then kill it. I don't understand why they will have an abortion. It is very sad. I am thankful of the children with, that God has blessed me with. Although people will tell me not to have anymore children, I still am thankful for what God has given to me. Children are little angels and I could not end their life. It is a gift for a woman to have children. I could not damage what God has blessed me with. Life is strange and it is very sad.

Your post is making me feel all the more guilty.
Yes you are right that no body has the right to kill these babies.They are gifts from God and have the very right to enjoy life to the fullest.
But there are some inevitable circumstances which may induce a person to take this extreme step.
I have also gone through abortion because i am working full time.My husband did not have job at that time and the sole responsibility to run the household was on my shoulders.The pregnancy was accidental and it was never planned.So i hate to stay that i had to abort it.
Many times i curse myself for what i have done.I feel guilty and there is definitely a void in my life due to this painful accident.

Thanks so very much for understanding my thoughts and feelings.The fetus was 4 weeks old and it was a unanimous decision taken by me and my partner.
No,I have never tried talking to the baby's spirit.I am mentally too weak and sensitive to do that.But i still miss him/herand always will.

Im sorry about the loss..and having you feel guilty for taking your baby's life. You have your reasons and well i think you have suffered much for doing the deed. I can't judge you for doing it.. Just pray that your baby will understand you and why you have done it to him/her.

the same thing happened in my country too.everyday there a new about it.even my little niece and nephew questioned about it.why they did it that way?even the small child know things better than those people.they should not have to dump the baby or kill them, even if they are so desperate to vanish them away they should at least send the babies to the welfare home or someone who willing to take care of the babies.otherwise they should take precaution to prevent pregnancy happen.

they don't have the right to do that to their babies whether they are the fruit of unwanted pregnancies or bad experience. babies have lives, they are not just objects that you can throw in a garbage bin or leave everywhere. and i think it's a sin to do that to someone so helpless and incapable of doing anything like babies. whenever i hear news like that, i feel so sorry for the babies for having heartless moms. moms are carrying their babies for 9 months and should feel attachment and affection to their babies, unfortunately, the effect on these heartless moms are the opposite.
whatever the reasons or alibis those moms have, it's still inhumane to throw their little angels in garbage bins or leave them in comfort rooms. there are better options anyway if they can't live with their babies. they should have give their babies to agencies that will take care of them like DSWD (Department of Social Welfare and Development) or let their good or best relatives adopt them.

You are correct..there are so many reasons not to kill the babies or leave them anywhere. But i think those moms never thought of giving the baby to others, they are only thinking of themselves on how they could get rid of the baby. But more so they don't have any right to take away the lives of these innocent babies. Why would they let the babies suffer for their wrong deeds and wrong decisions?

I don't understand how a mother can be so cruel to her own child. Where is the compassion? A mother's love is a bond that can'y be broken, or can it? I don't know what can go through a mother's mind to bring harm to her own children. I am a mother myself. The thoughts of hurting any of my children have never been a consideraatrion to me and they never will. Mothers who bring danger to their children seriously need to seek help. A child's life is a precious gift. It should not be wasted.

They dont know how important life is, and they are selfish enough to take away the chance of their own flesh and blood to live a normal and happy life like they do.

this case mostly happened because of unwanted pregnancy. I have heard that the mother who left her baby at the airport because she was being molested/raped by her employer. She has her own family here in the philippines. But still, it was not a valid reason to throw away the baby. They had a right to live, if they don't want the baby just rather gave it to the orphanage, somehow they can be able to experienced life.

Yes i have heard of her reason, but please that is never an excuse for her to throw the baby. And of all places she throws it in a garbage bin..she should have left it somewhere safe or just give it to the orphanage as what you have said. A lot of unsuccessful mothers could have gotten the baby. thanks for sharing :)

I agree on your sentiment since I am also shocked when I heard the news. I don't think that its the cases are limited only to the Philippines in general. Although I am deeply sadden by what I heard, I also believe that there are some women who may not be mentally, physically or emotionally prepared to have a baby. They have lots of reasons for doing what they did. I was thinking that If they are out of options why not leave their babies in the orphanage where somebody else might give love and care to their burden instead of leaving them dying, lost and alone in the places where they left them. Sometimes when they have change their mind its too late. It's good that the baby in the airport is still alive. He is cute and angelic. I am following the news on what will be the final outcome of his young life, whehter they will allow him to stay with the DSWD or be reunited with his mom after a much needed psychiatric therapy.

Children are gifts from GOD..They should be loved and cherished. The mothers of these babies didn't give them an opportunity to live, for whatever reasons is really unacceptable.. Life is what we are talking about here.. Life is precious, there are lots out there who wanted to have babies and wasn't able to bear because of many reasons. Why these mothers who had been blessed didn't accept this precious gifts?? How can they just abandon and kill their own flesh and blood? I can't believe it... SELFISHNESS... SELFISHNESS...I think they have done this for their own sake..whatever their reasons are, it's really unjustifiable..
This is really heartbreaking and very sad news...

Selfish for acting on their own good and not thinking of the babies lives. There are really a lot of options to avoid these unwanted pregnancies and a lot of options to have the baby live and see the world. These will never happen if they have thought about it before hand..

oh..that's really annoying!!!How could they do that to their babies? Haven't they realized they were being cruel in a way they don't even give the chance for someone's soul to live it's life?..They don't even have the single right to take the decisions of taking those babies lives for they are not God!
If i were the mother and get into the situation of having this baby with no one beside me or no other things for me to start with..still i couldn't do that to just throw on wherever i want to or thinking that it's better for my baby to not have the chance to live the life was given to him/her. It is being so unfair!,,,
And don't ever that mothers who do that..say that they love their children for they've done those things..because if they really do they really won't let themselves to take away their babies life! There are lots of things to do to survive..They really can if they wanted to!!!...They were just maybe afraid of the thought their babies would just suffer the cruel life..and so what?..God has a plan for all of us..if it could be the worth then let it be..

I think all mothers love their babies, they just care for themselves more than for their babies. Almost every people in this planet care for themselves, they don't want to take care and lock after their babies. Or maybe they don't have money so they decided to throw away their children. I think none of them will feel happy about it. We can't read other people mind, can we.
