In Senegal, unwanted babies fed to wild animals




Strict abortion laws in a West African nation is making women seek clandestine abortions and as a last resort kill their own infants, by either dumping them is septic tanks or in the wild forest for animals to eat.

Senegal is where such weird things are happening, according to a new report by human rights groups.

Backstreet abortions and infanticide, a consequence of the West African nation’s abortion legislation, account for 38 percent of detention cases among women in Senegal, the report said.
