Am I the only one to observe that these 'baby factories' are all located in the east?

The northerners make enough babies 4 themselves and the westerners, they don't need babies except 4 rituals.

As much as I condemn these ever growing "baby factories" - selling of babies for money - one has to admit that it gives the baby a fighting chance to live. Abortion has seen wastage of potentials and maybe destinies - if you believe in such.

Although many have abused it, the story of Ujunwa Egbe is one of such cases where her baby will saved rather than aborted.

It is ethically wrong to subject a child to such horrific trade. Unwanted pregnancy, abortion, and parents seeking children to adopt are conditions that can be found in any society.

Fighting this "baby factory" owners is posing some difficulty because some government officials engage in their services.

This is damaging. I'll pretend I didn't hear anything. Hear no evil, see no evil

@phealip, teenage pregnancy should be eradicated.*not the pregnancy itself*. That's the best solution.
Also orphanages should be well catered for.
