Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 27: My body, my choice

source

I am very grateful to steem4nigeria for bringing this sensitive contest that will draw our attention toward having a perfect family.

I am here to write according to my understanding of what a perfect family is supposed to be. I hope it will be without offense to anybody.

Do you agree with the bodily autonomy argument which states that "Everyone has the right to control what happens to their own body, which includes decisions about medical care, reproduction, and sexuality. We would love to know your reasons.

It depends on whether one is married or single, if one is single then I agree with bodily autonomy. Being single the responsibility of keeping your body the way you like is under your control.

Being single you have nothing to do with sex or reproduction, they are not mainly for single but for married couples.

But if married then I did not agree with the bodily autonomy because as a married couple, everything has to be done mutually. What so ever the husband or wife does, she or he must consider the other partner and that is what marriage is all about.

In marriage no one has the autonomy of his or her body once they are joining together they are to function as one unit.

The weight of birth control have been weighing heavily on woman with its procedures and side effects, do you think this responsibility should be shared equally?

The responsibility should be shared equally. what so ever the decision they are taking is for their good so no one should be stressed with any responsibility of the body alone.

In marriage, from the start mutuality is important, because togetherness is what keeps the family going.

If a woman has rights over her body, and may decide whether or not to abort a pregnancy, do you think men also have rights over their pockets, to decide whether or not to take responsibility and support the child?

The husband has no such right to neglect his child because of that reason because the child belongs to both of them not only his wife. And again the child is innocent in respective of what decision they are taking.

Whatever is the decision It is not supposed to affect the child negatively for it is a responsibility given to him by God not what he wishes to do. So the husband is not supposed to withdraw his responsibility toward his child because of his wife.

Do you agree that a person's right over their body should allow one to change their gender at will? Please explain.

If your faith warrants you to do that is okay. But according to my faith, no one is supposed to change his partner at will. Marriage is for better and for worse, it is a mutual agreement in respect of what happens between the couple.

Is it possible to hold and express a contrary view without imposing it on others? Please explain.

Nothing is done in isolation in marriage but there must be wisdom in doing things, if you are of the view that if your partner knows your idea it will bring havoc to your family, then keep it to yourself for some time to save your family first.

But the right thing to do is involve your wife in your decision-making, as a husband you have the final say but don't intentionally hurt your partner.

I would like to invite @rukiya, @simonnwigwe, and @josepha to join this contest.
