Western Cape paramedics and police fought to save the life of a prematurely born baby abandoned by its mother, immediately after giving birth in the toilets of a taxi rank in Durbanville last night.

ACDP’s Steve Swart was among those on the scene, having his ACDP project office situated right beside the taxi rank.

The ACDP has called on government to grant support for pregnancy crisis centres in the country.

Steve Swart said the ACDP has a great heart for mothers in such situations. He continued by saying it can be very hard for pregnant women and girls whose socio-economic circumstances do not permit them to keep the baby.

The ACDP have urged the public to support organisations that aid those in need and called on government to grant support to pregnancy crisis centres that assist women who choose not to abort their babies but to carry them full term.
