Bodies of fetuses, newborns clog Harare's sewers

As first I wanted to rage about the horror and brutality of such a barbaric place. The locals more concerned about the disruption of sewage flow. But then I thought how much better the US and the EUhandle this "waste" by using the bodies for dead babies for medical research. How proud I was then..........

The disposing of these babies and fetuses (both different from embryos) is the result of a bigger problem. Rather than criticize people as barbarians, maybe you should be more concerned about the economic conditions driving this action. The people in Zimbabwe are very poor, and getting poorer due to economic sanctions placed on their government. Wouldn't you say it's better to light a candle than curse the darkness?

Both can be done at once. Curse the darkness that caused this, and
curse the inhumanity of it all .... and do what you can to help stop
this. Which frankly, until that part of the world is stable politically,
there isn't much that can be done.


"What Africa needs, foreign aid cannot deliver, and that's elimination of
dictators and socialist regimes, establishment of political and economic
freedom, rule of law and respect for individual rights. Until that happens,
despite billions of dollars of foreign aid, Africa will remain a basket case."
-- Walter Williams

You have voted Rasobasi420 for the Way Above Top Secret award. You have two more votes this month.

Indeed there is much more to the article posted than just abortion..



Didn't President Bush cut funding to health care overseas? He must be so proud.



I wonder if the backyard abortionists are even able to wash their hands before they pick up the knife, or if it's dangerous just to deliver a baby under such unsanitary conditions. This is disturbing all round.
