I am 2000000 percent in support of legalizing abortion. Infact legalizing abortion is a cause i am passionate about. I am sick and tired of young girls dying daily because of unsafe abortions or being rendered sterile. We have poor access to sexual education beyond abstinence and equally poor access to contraceptives yet abortion is illegal. It is ridiculous and counterproductive. Irrespective of individual beliefs, peoplr will continue to fornicate!!!!!! No need pretending. Funny thing is if we have better access to sex education and contraceptives the need for abortions will drop drastically. Let us just legalize abortion abeg.
Also, it makes absolutely no sense to me to make a law against how a woman chooses to use her body, what kind of risk she wants to subject it to (cause lets face it, pregnacy and childbirth is NOT easy!!! Women die in childbirth o) and what to do with her womb!!! Why should we insist a woman must carry and birth a child we have no intention of contributing to he/she's welfare abi we think pampers na 5kobo per pack? To make it worse, our child adoption services are poor and we shame women who give up their kids for adoption .. Shey you see we are not serious at all. Dont we have enough hungry street kids? We still want to force young girls to give birth when their family will abandon them, their school will expel them, they will be hungry pregnant tired girls.. Loool .. Ofcourse we are the ones pushing them to unsafe abortions and death.
I am not pro abortion but i think contraceptives should be easily made available and the shaming should end maybe because I have seen first hand the emotional trauma an aborted baby can cause
I understand you perfectly, but remember that the first human right is the right to life. I feel that sex education and access to contraception would go a long way to reducing the need for abortion. I don't know if you watched mtvshuga (downsouth), there is access to contraception from age 12 I think because they understand the need. Hypocrisy is our major problem in Nigeria. Then education on family planning is also very important as married women also opt for abortion when the pregnancy is a 'mistake'.
