Lesson from the Tigers

Lesson From The Tigers

Mushtofa Kamal

When you hear that title, what would you think ? It`s not about how the tigers hunt the deers or how the tigers eat greedily to survive. No, there is one thing from the tiger that can be learned by us as a human. I discuss about love especially love between mother and children of the tigers. I`m sure that most of you have a question why I choose that topic. Yes, I`ll tell you that I want to discuss about abortion case which occur in Indonesia. I just want to compare the human with the tigers.

Before we walk further you should know the definition of the abortion term. Abortion means a removal or expulsion of an embryo / fetus from the uterus and make them death. And commonly abortion can be divided into two classification, there are spontaneous abortion ( abortus spontaneous ) and induced abortion. Spontaneus abortion means that the abortion occur naturaly without any invasion or induction. It can be caused by accidental trauma or natural causes such as infection,immune responses or the systemic diseases like diabetes mellitus and abnormal uterine contraction. The other is induced abortion that can be classified into 2 parts, criminal abortion ( Abortus criminalis ) and therapeutic abortion ( Abortus therapeuticalis ). Abortus criminalis will be discussed more in this writing.

You have to know the abortion rate in the world. According to the research in 1998,they found that abortion rate in this world was so high. It was about 46 million abortion per day. What`s the terrible it was. Do you want to know how about Indonesia ? yes, our beloved country also has high abortion rate. It was approximately 2,5 million case per day. The country that has eastern value can act like that. The country which known as a friendly country.

The first question is what`s wrong with us. And then, How can we act like that? Are there any regulation for that case? How can our government act like there are nothing happen? And I think we can tell more than that questions to show that that case is extraordinary, so horrible ,and do not suit with our value.

Abortion, I`m sure that there are no religions which allows their followers to do that suck thing. It`s like we try to kill part of our body. Abortion is a mortal sin. Look at the data which reflect why some mother decide to kill their baby. In 1998,there was 1 % case of abortion was caused by incest or ravishment,3 % was done to save the mothers` live,3% cases was done not to allow the baby grew with some severe handicaps. And 93% cases was caused by unresponsible reasons such as economic factors, abashment or feel worry can`t look after their baby.

Let see in holy quran that prohibit kill their baby because of fearness in proverty ( Al An`am 151 ). Because every people who born have been determined their destiny. And there are no reasons to do some legalization in illegal abortion. In UU No.39 year 1999 about human rights that say every children have their own rights especially live rights since they were in their mothers` womb. That`s clear that abortion is prohibited not only by religions but also by our government. They are just some examples, the other regulations like health regulation, criminal code, civil code and bible also curse that.

And our efforts to solve that problem can be started from giving a counseling to the teenagers about reproductive health, giving them more attention, religious knowledge that can be moral barrier from unwanted behavior like free sex and abortion. The most important thing that the good results won`t be achieved without hard work and work together.

And I`m very sure that you are confused by my title. Yes, I just want to say that the tiger love their children and never let them troubled by another, never let them in a hunger and they will protect their children even from the male tigers that want to eat them. And no animals want to kill their children. If we do abortion it means that we are worse than animals.
