Abortion in Mauritius – A Complicated Debate
Abortion in Mauritius is one of the Taboo subjects even in 2009. Why is abortion still taboo can maybe be explained by the fear of open talks and some constraint that some cultures and religions put upon such talks. Abortion is the by-force termination of pregnancy.
Abortion is illegal in Mauritius! However in many countries such as Australia, Canada, Germany, and the United States abortion is allowed upto a certain month or weeks of pregnancy. Before we talk about if abortion should legal or not in Mauritius, lets have a deep insight about the main reasons why pregnant women want to go for abortion and what are the dangers and good parts.
Pregnancy is not always a result of a want from a woman! Some girls do get pregnant due to rape or even unwanted fertilization due to accidental damage of any birth control solution. These girls will normally be nourishing a baby that they do not want in their womb and abortion is most probably the solution for them. Why?
Aborted Baby Photo 1
Imagine a 16 year old girl who get pregnant. She is still a teen and cannot be responsible enough to care for a baby. She maybe got pregnant due to rape or even unprotected sex (which is another debate). There are some cases where a mother would prefer to go for abortion because of diseases or possible complications for her or the child which may result in more suffering.
Arguments against abortion
- Post-abortion trauma is common in many women who go for it. They often have nightmares and are affected psychologically with a fact that they killed a part of themselves. Killed a possible life. Killed what could have been.
- Abortion is often considered as killing a life by many even if the baby is not yet born. For a fact, after the 21 days of pregnancy itself, the baby heart starts to beat!
- There are risks of infections or even death due to excessive bleeding during abortion although that the death rate is quite very low and rare.
- Religion and God do not like this.
Arguments for legalization of abortion
- The woman has the right to decide whether she want to keep the baby or not since she is the one who will go through thhe labour and pain to give birth to the baby.
- The woman’s life is more important than an unborn baby. By life I mean the future and even career of the woman.
- By keeping abortion illegal, people who wanna do it will still do it illegally and can eventually be a danger for the woman itself.
- Illegal abortion mean more money spent and abortion done is not so hygiene conditions.
- Religion or god got a damn to do with a woman’s life and decision.
Coming back to Mauritius, I think that living in a supposedly democratic country women should be allowed to go for abortion if she want it and it should be legal. The bad side consisting of killing a life is upon the decision of the woman. At times is it not better to kill one to save two or more? Maybe its my bias opinion but I am always for the best possible outcome.
Many teens get pregnant nowadays. I can;t blame the teens for that. I won’t even say that teenage sex is bad. I am not superman to conclude on their life since I believe sex is a natural thing and this is another debate coming soon. However imagine a teen getting pregnant….imagine even a 20 year old girl getting pregnant when she has just got a job! Imagine a girl getting pregnant because a mother-f*cker raped here and it was too late since she hidden the fact out of shame! i think these girls or women got the right to go for an abortion IF THEY WANT!
And what do you think about abortion in Mauritius? Should it be legalized or not and the WHY as usual.

I really think abortion should be legal but with consent of a doctor of course and it should be performed in a limited amount of time. As you said as from the 21st day the baby heart start to beat so abortion should be done before the 21 days .
It is easy for people to say that abortion is not right or not accepted by god. But common it is the woman who has to carry the baby for 9 months , bear the labour pain , risk her life… if the woman thinks she will not be able to give the baby a good future why not go for abortion ?
On the other way round , these days we have preventive methods , it gonna be stupid for a woman not to use them if she doesnt wanna get pregnant/

Yes but there are also cases where a woman does not know she is pregnant before the 21 days?
In this case of after some time she learn she is pregnant and does not wanna keep a baby.
Also there is the problem that many women who does not want a baby and gave birth to it often does not have the experience and courage and ability to properly care for him.

Yes this ins true as well . That’s why there is a big need to remove taboo on the issue of sexuality in Mauritius. There should be sexual education in primary school itself .. why wait secondary school ?

Abortion is a touchy subject either way…when rape is involved..incest..etc women should have a choice…but by all means, abortion should not be means of birth control.

Either it is here or it is not here.
If the legislator wants to make it legal, fine.
If it is not legalized, people will live as per their beliefs. Acts of abortion will be sanctioned. That’s how it works.
Debates on abortion are overrated.

If it becomes legal it may be useful to some people. For example, the Director Of Public Prosecutions will not have to file nolle prosequi (Cancel a case).
If it remains illegal, some people will be happy.
In either way, some gain and some lose. It’s the system.
To reply to your question, I would say that I really don’t know.

Abortion is a sin in the same way like killing an animal is another sin. This must not become legal as there is the risk that girls will become more careless when they know they will be doing abortion easily anytime they are pregnant.

So do you think abortion will further increase unwanted pregnancy? I think even abortion is not such an easy task like using a condom. There are pain and risks even in it and a girl will think before doing risky sexual stuffs.
The abortion sin stuff maybe I can agree but then as I said if an unborn life is going to ruin an already settle life…and there is to be a choice??

Define SIN.
Your conception of SIN may not be the same for me.
You say it is a SIN because you were brought up to believe it to be a sin. You are caught in the trap. Let people decide for themselves, but put the legal framework so that people lives are not in danger.
I also find it amazing that its usually middle aged females that cannot conceive anymore that are against legallisation of abortion.
A pregnant person does not believe that one should not resort to abortion, then whats her problem? But let the ones who want, perform it legally, make it payable but let people have an alternative.
Bloody time to legalise

If we let poeple decide for themselves what the definition of SIN is..

We should legalize murder..the murderer might not consider that as a sin…

So many people willing to adopt…there are orphanages providing all the essential facilities necessary for a living…yet it is believed that killing a possible life is the unique solution???
If life is considered as hell then why shouldn’t we legalise the murder of innocent people who are in dishearting living situation..In my point of view, this argument is totally absurd..
In the instance of rape and incest, proper medical care can ensure that a woman will not get pregnant. Abortion punishes the unborn child who committed no crime. And when it is merely the case of a girl getting pregnant at a young age, is it right to take the life of someone just to hide one’s irresponsibilities??????/

@Vé, what if the baby has been detected bearing some defect in the uterus itself? would you still want the baby to be born with, say, only one arm or only one leg? and live like that for all of its life? wtf? you won’t know because you’ve never tried putting urself in a mother’s shoes.

@Anji,
So you mean that an innocent child having a physical defect does not have the right to life??
That isn’t plausible at all..
You must not be killing a baby because u “think” there is “a possibility” he might suffer in the future and you can’t even be sure about that.. That child might have a physical defect, but you can never know…someone with only one leg can become a brilliant mathematician for example..
If abortion is legalised in respect with these lines of thought then even murder of the millions already born handicapped persons should be legalised.. That’s absolutely absurd!!
No one has the right to take the decision about life or death..
This mentality that abortion is alright- is very sinful. For a women or man to think it is ok to kill an unborn child proves they are demoniac. In the case where the child is unwanted, adoption is the only sin free solution. There is no religion in the world that condones this kind of action. Neither would a sane person approve of such activity.
People have become so cold and hard hearted that they will resort to any sinful activity so they can continue to try enjoy their genitals without consequence. If you’re ruthless enough to do the crime then get ready to do the time. Every action has a consequence, “what you sow, so shall you reap”. If you spoil your life and taint your karmic record because you think this activity is OK then you are in for a big surprise, nothing you do goes unnoticed. Your cannot sweep these sins under the carpet or hide them in a closet, in the end you will be accountable.
What kind of human being after seeing these pictures can consent to such nasty activities? The presence of the soul prompts the cell division in a fetus therefore abortion at any stage is unlawful eviction on a tenant! If a new tenant moves into a building and pays the deposit and rent, can you just evict them because no one in the neighbourhood met them yet!!!! Sorry you will end up in court and then enjoy some prison time. Don’t think the powers that be are not recording your every move.
Unborn children are innocent and cannot fend for themselves therefore it is the duty of the Mother and father to protect them, if the parents fail, it is the duty of the government to protect the child.

@Graeme,
You can’t keep talking about sins in this conversation. I’m sure religeon has already made its rules about abortion but this is government we are talking about. The government and the church must remain seperate, because not all people in America, for example, practice the same religeon. Religeon is somethhing that individuals choose to follow and if a person follows a religeon that does not accept abortion, then they will not abort due to their faith. But you cannot force that faith into others. You seem very interested in making everyone follow the rules of the precious bible, but it doesn’t work that way. We have to make decisions from a logical standpoint that will work for the nation as a whole. Also, we have to think about the woman as well, since in the end she is the one who has to carry the baby 9 months, give painful birth to the child, and most likely provide for the child for 18 years or so. Is the child’s life more important than the rest of the mother’s life? Considering that 16 year olds get pregnant, I think that 16 is too young to throw your life away but having a kid you can’t support – at least in current American society it is. I believe that abortion before the heart begins to beat is ideal, because at that point it cannot be considered murder, and because at that point the cluster of cells has just as much right to live as the other 10,000 eggs in a woman’s ovaries that NEVER become fertalized.

Why don’t you try to use your intelligence to grip the issue “Abortion”! Instead of trying to deviate from topic. This is the reason why Mauritius is so full of politics, because fools want to argue for the sake of argument instead of resolving issues.
People suffering in other parts of the world is due to bad leadership both local and global. Cripple minded people who cannot see the reactions to bad deeds are like blind people trying to paint. Replace “karmic record” with “track record” so that you can understand the meaning of my comment.
Abortion is an issue that brings forth the ontological paradigm of consciousness. If you are not interested in such a debate then find another forum to play mental tennis and polemics. Why remain like a donkey blinkered with preconceptions foisted upon you by the reflected consciousness of your primary , secondary and hopefully tertiary education. The acme of mental equilibrium is the ability to empathise with others opinions, and then put forth logical arguments against or for the topic. Since it appears you don’t live in Mauritius it seems you want to treat the issues with mindless drivel. You will end up like a cloud that is riven with no place in any sphere, ‘cause with that mentality you won’t get accepted much abroad and it sure seems you don’t care much for the issues here.
I don’t think this will pass your vetting process, cause I reckon you’re not really interested in unbiased press. But if you don’t then C’est la vie.

Too bad you dont agree with my argument and that you find that I am deviating from the topic. But abortion was the topic not ‘ Karma’,and your suggestion of me joining another forum is up to the mederator…!
People should be allowed to make their own opinion, if a person do not want to resort to abortion for whatever reason, its that person’s choice. But let others who are willing to have an abortion do so legally and without endengering the person’s life.
I am not going to have an argument about whether I live in paradise island or any banana republic; that none of your concern.
I will not suggest that like you tdid, that you move to another blog site. I am sure that your comments will be most welcomed as its a reflection of the Mauritian mentallity. I am mauritian, hope you are…! never mind if you aren’t. You are still welcomed

i think abortion should be legalised in mauritius because too many women do it secretly by means of drugs that sells in pharmacy and they have complications afterwards , but generally am against this practice as we dont have a right to kill .
a baby is not at fault if he is due to come in this world .

Considering the killing part yea its not good. But exactly as you said, by being illegal there are risks. Being illegal is not actually discouraging it. It is infact making people risking their life to do it.
Also there is the part where a woman has the full right to decide if she wana give birth to a child or not.
Being illegal…its like everything that is illegal… marijuana is illegal and dealers sell the toxic and poor ones.. instead of the bud which is not against health..
Prostitution is illegal and more girls are doing it and there are lots of problems due to these… At times I feel some things by being illegal make it worst knowing the rebellious nature of humans.

Do you remember anything related to your birth or prior to your birth?
We do not know. We do not have an answer to that.
“Thou shalt not kill”.
We remember this well. It is one of the ten commandments. How many people do not believe in god?
The influence of the church is questionable. Recently, the pope made a declaration which shocked many.
Some AIDS patients are injected with steroids and they are in good health. Steroids is badly considered by society.
Abortion is disliked by many but is seen as helpful to others. It is very likely that abortion will become legal provided that socio-cultural and religious variables do not intervene in its move towards acceptance.
[Reply]
From the ten commandments of the bible it is believed that “Thou shalt not killl”.It is believed that as soon as there is conception life begins
According to some,it is believed that abortion is a sin but abortion is legal only during the first three weeks of pregnancy and these are just brain waves.
will you still desist from abortion in the case of rape,incest and so on.It is an unwanted or illegitimate child and that woman might not want to carry this burden all her life.From this angle it is quite clear that indeed abortion should be legalised.—–
If abortion is not legalised this will give rise to backstreet abortions.Why dont we give it a legal framework????

@Anusha,
In my point of view, legal abortions only encourage incest.
The solution that pro-abortionists offer to the problem of incest is to allow the man who man this girl pregnant to take her down to the nearest abortion centre for a secret abortion. they then pat her head and say, “see honey, problem’s all taken care of”. He can then drive her home and continue the abuse, with the inscriminating evidence neatly disposed of.
You will not end incest by allowing the abuser to destroy the evidence.
Moreover, i think abortion for rape is killing an innocent child because of the crimes of her father.
[Reply]
Murder of the innocent should never be given a legal framework! But nowadays people have become heartless. There should be no circumstance that would force a human being to take the life of an innocent child! A pious women would even sacrifice her own life for the life of her child.

@Ashley, Thank you for your comment. No matter what the circumstances are, violence (such as rape) should never result more violence such as the killing of a child in the womb. It is a human rights violation – The right to Life, liberty and freedom. If you want to remain a cold hearted person and snuff out the life of a human inside of you, then go ahead, see how you live with it. Suicide among those who have committed abbortion is 10 times higher than those who have not. It is easy for you to give lip service to this debate, but this is not just a question of repeating what others may or may not have said. It is a question of an end to babarism among humans. Like the forced circumcision of men and women in Jewish and Moslem religions. So deoes the parent have the right to cut off the baby girls clitorous, so that she will never experience a female orgasm for the rest of her life? Or Jewish parents, do they have the right to lop off the forskin of there sons penis?
The world is full of Barbarism, as humans we should try to put an end to this kind of activity. Why do you think there are crazy rapists out therre, it is because they were brought up by crazy minded barbaric parents. Abortion is always a last resort in a question of life or death. Not just and option, you already had the option, if you don’t want to get pregnant then use contraception or don’t have sex. If you get raped, then have the child adopted. If you think that a mother or father has the right ot perpetrate violence on their children, think again. Tyr to think of yourself in a world where parents can mutilate their childrens private parts and get away with it or they can snuff out their lives and get away with it. Well that world already exists due to mini-minded fools who want to propagate barbarism. Well when barbarism is perpetrated against you, don’t howl,scream and beg for mercy, since in your heart you have become void of such mercy against the most delicate and innocent child in the womb. Om Shanti, Shanti Shantih. May therer be peace in the world.

You cannot win over Nature, she wins every time. SO if you try to abort the child you participated in creating then Nature will give you some other reaction. Most Child killing mothers, become dependent on drugs or alcohol. There sad lives are lived in guilt and regret. The ignorance of youth steals away our wisdom. If you do the crime then you will do the time! Only in the case of rape should abortion be considered. Abortion will probably be legal in Mauritius because there are plenty of lusty men that want to take advantage of girls without serious commitment to them. SO it encourages us men to cheat on our wives because there is no reaction. So just mean more sex for everyone and no commitment. And more women growing old without husband. Sounds like a win win for the men and a lose lose for women.

[Reply]
The greatest asset to Mauritius are the people, so how can you say growing babies is a burden. Most Mauritians immigrate in fact Mauritius has a negative population growth. If you are fearful of over population that is only due to your realization that Mauritius has bad management skills, with good management you can make everyone comfortable and productive. So your argument for over population is a fallacy.
If you can’t control your sex desire then go to a shrink, a real man is not like a monkey who cannot control his genital and mind. Yes, sex is nice to enjoy but there is a reaction to it, life is created, that life is your greatest asset. If you don’t want children don’t have sex, because if you do make someone pregnant there is nothing worse than a child growing up unwanted, that is animal life. If you want things to improve in Mauritius first you should improve yourself and get rid of your murderous tendency toward the weak and unprotected children in the wombs of your girlfriends. If you abort a child now, so in the future you will also be aborted out of the womb of your mother in a future life, whether you accept or not the reaction will come and you will be crying in great anxiety as the abortionist butcher blends your little body up. Don’t allow your small head to control your big head.

Hi All? I think that abortion is should be legalized but only for certain cases. For example if a woman or girl has been raped and is pregnant, then this may apply. But of course the woman or girl should seek the advice of a doctor first whether the abortion is safe or not. In cases of being pregnant due to unprotected sex, I am against it. We have all the facilities today to prevent unwanted pregnancy then why not use them?
I strongly think that when you are aware of what is the risk of having unprotected sex when you are still a minor, married or not married, then you do not have the right to take the life of an innocent.
But, I ask myself a question, why should the unborn baby bear all the consequences – that if she aborts, the unborn will be killed in any circumstances but if the baby is born then, depending on the financial, moral and status(working or student, age, support of her family and friends as well as society), what’s his future? Will the mother be able give all the needed attention in cases where the baby is born from rape or un-proctected sex, poor family and no help from concerned authorities, will the baby have a normal life as other normal growing up children?
Now, what is preventing the authorities to legalize abortion in Mauritius? We see mainly cultural and religious heads coming to the front to voice out that this is not a good path to follow and god does not permit us to take the life of an unborn and innocent as well. Is this the only issue that god has forbidden us to do? Hasn’ t god forbidden us to smoke, drink or whatever things that is not good for human beings? Why don’t they come to the front and say that smoking is illegal since it is injurious to health or taking alcoholic drinks is injurious to health. This also takes life! Fight for making smoking and alcoholic drinks as illegal! This is only an example but there are several things as well.
Abortion can be done legally but not in all circumstances. Before giving the final approval for abortion, the concerned authorities should gather all necessary infos and that too in very short time – remember that each day we lose the baby is growing up and this may be a danger.
Nowardays, how many doctors practice abortion illegally and that too at a price that is affordable to only those who have the money to pay for it. They can afford for a private Physcologist as well if they undergo trauma after the abortion.
Thus, whether you like it or not, we want it or not, I am of the opinion that abortion should be legalized only in cases of rape, or some form of un-currable diseases such as AIDS or malformation!
I don’t approve abortion in cases of unwanted preganancy for married couples who had unprotected sex and don’t want to have an extra expense at there disposal since they do have 2 children(as example) or married couples who are poor and cannot afford to have a child at least for the coming years or youngsters who were just enjoying there sex life but that too unprotected.
Sex education should start at a tender age – around 8 years old. At secondary level it’s too late. Sex is not a taboo and this should be accepted by everyone! Educating the children at a tender age and educate the parents as well. Many parents are unable to talk to there own children on topics concerning sex. Why not create an institution that can train parents of how to converse with there child on sex? Eduction at home is better since the one caring more about us is our parents.
If we think that everyone can control there sexuallity then we are wrong. How many sexual perverts we have on this planet? How many rapes have we read in newspapers? Recently, there was a serial rapist who was arrested and his last prey was a young girl of 18. Did they control themselves? Why they could’t do so? This also should be taken into consideration if we want to reduce the risk of unwanted pregnancy leading to abortion! The serial rapist or rapist simply should be followed by a psycologist. This is done usually in countries like France. I think that this should be done also in Mauritius.

Abortion should not be illegal because people should be able to make there own choices and sometimes abot=rting a baby seems like the best thing to do but people should keep on mind if you didn’t want a baby you shouldn’t be having sex. I dont care how good it feels. That baby didn’t ask to be put in your stomach and it has equal rights the same way we do. Abortion is cruel and the people who abort their babies for no reason are fowl.

Abortion is a very sensitive issue. Just a thought, if you don’t want to get pregnant because you’re not ready, you shouldn’t do it. If you can’t avoid, then be responsible, especially for the consequences.

Religious beliefs aside, abortion, in my eyes, is still wrong. Many women use abortion as a means of borth control, which it so clearly is not by the pictues at the top of the page. I don’t believe in God, but the murder of another life is dispicable, UNLESS the mother physically or financially cannot bear to have the child. It is only somewhat reasonable in cases of rape, incest, or therapeutic abortion (when the mother may be in danger due to the unborn child).
I believe that if you are having sex, you should know the risks, (STD’s, unplanned pregnancies, etc.) and if you refuse to use any means of birth control if you do not wish to get pregnant, then the consequences are yours to deal with. I won’t tell you to abstain, because sex is a natural thing. But if you choose to have a sexual relationship, please be responsible.
I don’t favor women who choose to abort their fetus, but I will not leave their side if they need me (and I know a few women who have had abortions). It is still the pregnant woman’s choice, and that’s how it should be. At least that’s what I think.
So, I think it should be legalized, but doctors should create a quicker, painless abortion method, because stabbing babies in the neck and sucking out the brain with a catheter or chopping off arms and other limbs or poisoning the baby with saline solution is clearly a painful process, for both mother and fetus/child.
After approximately 22 days, that heart is beating. And within the early stages of the first trimester, the nervous system is present. That means that the fetus can feel every pinch and slice and chop.
It’s a personal decision, and a very sensitive subject. I think many women — people in general have become very selfish. In previous generations, women would die in order to bring new life to this planet. Now, it’s all about atoning for one’s mistakes, pretending like it never happened or not caring how that baby is suffering during the abortion.

Rawiyah… forget about all these for a moment…. just put u in the place of a small girl aged between 13 and 16… if , u were at this aged, got raped and eventually got pregnant, then what would have done??? u would still say tht abortion shud not be implemented??? that sound ridiculous dr… i agree tht no one can violate one common right -The Right To Live… but do u think dat this would apply in these types of situation?? of course not!!!…
think about girls who get sexually abused by their own relatives and pregnant!!!…

@Kheshav Ramtohul,
In my point of view, legal abortions only encourage incest.
The solution that pro-abortionists offer to the problem of incest is to allow the man who man this girl pregnant to take her down to the nearest abortion centre for a secret abortion. they then pat her head and say, “see honey, problem’s all taken care of”. He can then drive her home and continue the abuse, with the inscriminating evidence neatly disposed of.
You will not end incest by allowing the abuser to destroy the evidence.
Moreover, i think abortion for rape is killing an innocent child because of the crimes of her father.

I think that women are having unprotected s*x and not thinking twice about it because they know that there’s an alternative. I believe that taking away that “back-up plan” AKA abortion would cause women and even teens to think again before diving into unprotected s*x.
Now the issue on rape, I believe that the women and even young girls put into this situation should have the choice to say yes or no when it comes to a baby. They didn’t have a say in this unexpected accurance.
My opinion is that abortion should be limited or even cut-off to people who just use it as a way out of something they could have prevented themselves.

@summer,
Exactly. Everyone deserves the right to live!

For me ABORTION is a cold blooded murder…..No one has the right to destroy a gift of nature…Abortion has been considered to be a controversial issue since many decades…I personally feel that punishments should be pronounced against any woman who procures her own miscarriage, or who consents to make use of the means pointed out or administered to her with that intent, if such miscarriage ensues……..

@Divya, I agree to this comment I believe its wrong to get an abortion. (-key topics)
-1. Rape: I know that their are some women and even girls that get raped and get pregnant and I know how it feels but even if I would have gotten pregnant its not the babys fault you got raped and it not your fault either I mean how would you feel if bc someone didnt want you in this world or want to deal with you they killed you I think that would be wrong.
part 2. Now I agree on adoption not abortion and with the rape I dont feel the baby should pay but what i do think is if the guy really did rape the girl and not just the girl saying it so she wouldnt get introuble bc she lied
(I know a girl just like that she got an innocent guy introuble bc she lied to him about her age and everything and she lied to her parents about where she was with who and that she was raped bc she wanted to be a slut) SO I believe that the guy should be punished and I MEAN PUNISHED!! like his dick or body part cut off or to be put in prison where his punishment is to get raped everyday for the rest of his sentence…
-2 Teens having sex: Now I know what some parents and other people say that their child or themselves are to young and irresponsible to have a kid which means ADOPTION NOT ABORTION and I know you dont want to carry the baby but YOU were the one to SPREAD YOUR LEGS and have unprotected sex so you SHOULD have to deal with the consequences….
-3 Protection Defection: K now that unprotected sex is out of the way lets talk about if your birth control fails I know that you dont want a kid hints the birth control but if you do happen to get pregnant instead of having an abortion why not give the baby up if you can at the end of the nine months you’ll feel better bc you wont feel like you killed someone but the world would be better too bc less innocent killings would have taken place…
THAT IS MY ARGUMENT…
