Unwanted babies grow into vagrants

THE EDITOR: In the large countries of the world the orphanages are mostly filled with children who survived wars and disasters. In the smaller countries such as our own Trinidad and Tobago our orphanages are filled with children whose parents did not want them to be born in the first place. It is the same with most of our vagrants. Now, because of religion and the law, women are forced to carry babies that they do not want. These women did not set out to have babies. They went to have sex, plain and simple. The women do not want babies.

When born, the babies are sold, given away, dumped and even killed. Some are buried alive. It is my view, women should not be allowed to carry an unborn baby that they do not want and will not love. When this is not done you have children who are born without any love at all, and become an unloved orphan, an unwanted youth, an adult filled with hate and finally a vagrant. But, then we have exceptions.
