An unborn baby girl for 110 thousand liras!

While I was happy that I hadn't gotten sick all winter, I spent two days in bed due to a severe headache followed by nausea. 

For this reason, I could not write the article that was supposed to be published on Friday.

I am fine now. 

I apologize for this forced break!

*

When I say "I'm fine," it's just a figure of speech, of course…

I am as "fine" as it is possible for decent people… for honorable, proud, moral, and conscientious people to be in this country!

Periods of economic crisis are also times when humanity falls ill… That is, days when everything is put up for sale.

Some add to their fortunes during these times, but vast masses become even poorer and shrink!

*

A question for you:

You have a debt of 100 thousand liras, you need to pay it urgently, and you don't have a penny to your name!

What is the first thing you sell?

*

Let's go in order:

First, without selling anything, you try to find new debt or use a bank loan.

If you see that it's not working, that you can't find a loan, and if you have a house or a car of your own, you sell them.

If not, your valuables…

Your television, your refrigerator, your computer, your mobile phone…

If those aren't enough, the wedding ring on your finger…

If that still doesn't work…

You even sell drugs!

You get involved in dirty business!

It's hard to say, but you sell your honor, your honor!

Open the internet and look; you will see that tens of thousands of women are forced to work as escorts openly, and their numbers are increasing every day.

Unfortunately, because of the government members who call themselves "religious and conservative," all these dirty sectors have grown hundreds of times over in the last twenty years.

There are no longer any limits to drugs, smuggling, gambling, or prostitution!

The nation has reached a point where it would commit murder for ten thousand liras out of hunger.

What else… What else would you sell for money?

Let me tell you:

According to the news by my colleague Mehmet İnmez published in Cumhuriyet yesterday, baby sales have exploded on social media recently!

You heard that right; people are selling their born or unborn babies.

If you want, forty-day-old, two-month-old, or babies to be born in two months are at your disposal!

For example, a mother in Kırıkkale put her 55-day-old baby girl up for sale on a website for 100 thousand liras due to financial difficulties!

In Antalya, a 23-year-old expectant mother was selling her baby girl, who was thirty days away from birth, for 110 thousand liras! To convince potential buyers, she even added the baby's doctor check-ups and ultrasound photos to the ad!

In İzmir, another family confessed that they bought a baby from a university student for 45 thousand liras! They registered the baby as their own by pretending they had given birth!

You can find dozens more examples on search engines!

*

You are judging these people who even sell their children for money, aren't you?

I judge them too, I condemn them, and I blame them…

But don't those who drove them to this state have any fault at all?

If in a country where people cannot afford to eat sausage…

If some are buying those people's children with money…

If humanity is becoming this pathetic and consciences are turning to stone…

Don't those who are elected by the votes of the people and live in luxury in palaces under the guise of "the country's reputation," and who travel with armies of thousands of bodyguards, have any fault in this?

*

I lay sick for two days and couldn't write an article; I felt compelled to apologize to you…

What about these men who think they are governing us…

Why don't they apologize for having created a country where people openly sell their children on the internet?
