Tragic story. At 6 months along it would have been a wiser choice for her to look at adoption as an option. If for no other reason than for her existing child.
Self abortion is extremely dangerous and has a high mortality rate. Though there is hardship associated with giving up a child for adoption, it is a greater hardship for any existing children to lose their mother and be left alone in the world.
With such high self abortion numbers it would seem that there needs to be a greater social awareness about birth control options that are available in the country.
Sound knowledge is the key to making informed decisions. This is truly a heartbreaking story.
