Abortion Denied, Woman Gives Birth and Leaves

A South African woman who was denied an abortion gave birth to the child and then left him at the hospital.

When home nurse Thelma Nzwane woke up the baby boy on Thursday, his eyes opened wide, he yawned and looked calmly at a Cape Argus news team.

'He needs comfort, care and feeding' Nzwane said: "He's a very sweet boy, never cries unnecessarily and gained weight fast and is growing nicely."
