FATE OF WOMEN COURTESY PROPOSED MTP BILL


Here is a poem to describe the plight of a female who landed up with perforation and intestines pulled out of it by some unqualified person .







I lay there bleeding 
With my relatives pleading 
Medical help was needed 
As the old MTP bill was super seeded 
By the new drafted MTP Act 
Which was the Government's pact 
The doctors said the nurse had failed to assess 
The duration of pregnancy and had made a mess 
As I had missed just one period 
And the nurse was not experienced 
She missed that I was three months pregnant 
So she left me to bleed with all the remnants 
My intestines too had been pulled out 
Which the nurse knew nothing about 
The doctors shifted me to the OT 
To proceed with their duty 
They did everything to save my life 
And I was relieved of my strife
The doctor announced that I had lost a few inches of my intestine 
In spite of that to me he  looked so pristine 
I pray to God that such a bill is withdrawn 
Which makes the women ; all the more the society's pawn

The ASHA type female attendants were always permitted to conduct deliveries.that was bad enough because a "Normal Delivery" is not always a child's play. But the recent MTP Act 2014 ( amended ) is reall y too much. I shudder to think that it was approved by Union Health Minister who himself is a doctor.

खुद्दारी से हमेशा लबरेज़ रहा मैं अपनी अपेक्षाओं को नहीं दर्शाया कभी अपनों की एक आवाज़ पर  न्यायपूर्ण युद्ध करने निकल पड़ा मैं तब मैं बलिष्ठ था, रूतबा था मेरा सलाहकार भी था तब तो इशारों से अपने मार्गदर्शन भी करता था ज़रुरत पड़ने पर सब की गुज़र हो, भलाई हो  पारिवारिक उत्थान से सामजिक उत्थान हो एक सपना देखा था मैंने डिपार्टमेंट, परिवार और अपने मरीजोंको मीठी गोली की पुड़ियों से मर्ज मुक्त कर अपनी रेलवे की नौकरी के साथ होमियोपैथी के रथ का सारथी बन दीर्घकालिक सारभौमिक उत्थान  पर विश्वास किया था मैंने आज मैं जीर्ण हूँ, फिर भी खुद्दार हूँ नहीं रखता अपेक्षाएं किसी से हक़ क्या है ये कभी सोचा ही नहीं अपने लिए अपनों से कोई हक़ की अपेक्षा रखता है भला जिनके लिए हड्डियां गला दीं उनसे क्या कभी हक़ की दरकार करूंगा ? तुम मेरी खुद्दारी का आदर करते हो तो हक़ खुद बा खुद ससम्मान दोगे वरना तो इस तीन बाई छह के पलंग पर ज़िन्दगी गुज़ार दी  अपने छह बाई बारह के कमरे में तो अब क्या चाह बची है? खुद्दारी मेरी बनी रहे हक़ की नहीं रही कभी दरकार...
