Failed Abortions Rising Disable Child-births in Indonesia
Abortion is banned in Indonesia except for some medical cases, to save a mother’s life. Despite this tough law, many unmarried women get pregnant and go for illegal abortion by doctor, using herbal remedies and vigorous massage. They could not reach to professional medical gynecologists because abortion is only permitted to save a mother’s life and not to terminate unwanted pregnancy. Currently, a doctor can face up to 15 years in prison for performing an abortion and a woman wanting a termination, up to 4 years. In some failed abortion cases, the fetus could not be terminated successfully and pregnancy survived and grew in the uterus. These babies had born with mental and physical disability like hydrocephalus - a condition causing spinal fluid to swell patient’s brain. These children, living in orphanage had been left by their parents. According to the Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) — the main clerical body in Indonesia — rape victims are permitted to have an abortion up to the 40th day of the pregnancy. But, women who have become pregnant through an adulterous affair are not allowed to have an abortion, because most of them become pregnant by free will. The ignorance about sex, contraceptive methods, rigid social traditions are also responsible for these thousands of abortions carried out in poorly equipped clinics each year. It would not be wrong to say, the cases of failed abortions had created long term painful consequences for the children born disable. God bless them!  ·  · |

This isn't from attempted abortion. This is caused by a close relative if not the same chemical that was used with Agent Orange. This was posted on here before only with a different story.

Re: Failed Abortions Rising Disable Child-births in Indonesia
It's not caused by either one of those things. There are many conditions that cause hydrocephalus, but the basic cause is a blockage or some other malformation of the brain's natural drainage system. I just pulled out my textbook (Smith's Guide to Human Malformations) and there are several dozen conditions that can cause hydrocephalus. None of them are related to Agent Orange or any similar chemical.

what's really fucked up is that little boy could easily be saved with a surgically placd shunt to drain the excess cerebro-spinal fluid out of his skull.  |

Re: Failed Abortions Rising Disable Child-births in Indonesia
my son suffers from hydrocephalus, it's because he has a cyst on he's brain that is stopping the fluid from draining, so he's got a shynt draining it into he's stomach.

Re: Failed Abortions Rising Disable Child-births in Indonesia
I thought that come kids with this can be born with little or no brain at all due to the fluid not allowing the brain to develop
