pazienza:



Nnaa, we are no longer in the era of village gathering, where all members of the society get to contribute in decision making of the town, we are in the era of representative democracy. The law in question was not made by Okorocha,as he doesn't have such powers, the law was made by imo state legislature, whose members are supposed to be representatives of all the imolites, and whose decisions are supposed to be that of all imolites they represent.


Okorocha didn't make that law, he merely signed the bill into law, if you have problem with that, take your case to the member of imo state legislative body that is representing your town.

biafranqueen: Lets talk Facts:
• Nearly half of all abortions worldwide are unsafe, and nearly all unsafe abortions (98%) occur in developing countries. In the developing world, 56% of all abortions are unsafe, compared with just 6% in the developed world. [1]
• The proportion of abortions worldwide that take place in the developing world increased between 1995 and 2008 from 78% to 86%, in part because the proportion of all women who live in the developing world increased during this period. [1]
• Since 2003, the number of abortions fell by 600,000 in the developed world (western Worlds where abortion is legal) but [b]increased by 2.8 million in the developing world.(In Africa where it is illegal except South Africa where they have the least abortions in Africa) In 2008, six million abortions were performed in developed countries and 38 million in developing countries, a disparity that largely reflects population distribution. [1][/b]
• A woman’s likelihood of having an abortion is slightly elevated if she lives in a developing region. In 2008, there were 29 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years in developing countries, compared with 24 in the developed world. [1]


Illegal abortions are more in Africa then legal abortions in America and UK

The overall abortion rate in Africa, where the vast majority of abortions are illegal and unsafe, showed no decline between 2003 and 2008, holding at 29 abortions per 1,000 women of childbearing age.

Why is it that South Africa has legal abortion but the least women seek it in this country?

90% NIGERIAN MEN [b]would NOT[/b]adopt a child or want to raise a child that does not belong to him.

kleveg: The issue here is not the denomination one belong, catholic or non catholic but the gravity and consequences of this bill. we have seen the clause the guides the bill, in time of molestation,intimate assult, inbreeding. but the question is, how do we know that a woman going for abortion has been molested or raped. looking at the nature of this bill, our young girls are bound to abuse it in time to come. owning to the fact that there is no criteria that will prove that a girl pushing for abortion is actully raped or assulted

INJESUSITRUST: what do you mean? Are you for it or against it? God is intrested to know your heart position, and then those kind of men you named here can not posses the kindom of God.

chukwudi44: Rochas had better be careful!!! If he decides to fight the catholic church which comprises about 70% of the states population he will be finised politically.He should not forget what happeded to Ohakim and how he got to power in the first place.Abortion is murder except when the pregnacy endangers the mother's life.Even if a child comes from rape he should be allowed to live

Those of you arguing oterwise,assuming of your daughter is raped and somehow manages to give birth to a baby resulting from its pregancy will it be rigt to still kill the baby after it has already been born simply because his father was a rapist?

So it becomes murder even when the child is a few hours old but legal abortion even when the mother is 8 months pregmants.Taking of human life is bad.There is no two ways about it.

It is simply a use of different terminologies to describe the same act

babestell: Correction, abortion rates are not lower in the North. Its almost the same just that they are more discreet about it.

The solution is very easy, sexual morality, if you dont have sex you wont abort. Proper use of family planning for those couples who dont want more kids. These account for least 90% of abortions.

Dan Anyiam:
I am not arguing against your stance on the issue but I got to make few points
1. Ohakim's henchmen beat up a catholic priest Rochas didn't.
2. This law wasn't sent to the house by the governor to pass into law. It was manufactured/made inside the house, hence not Rochas law or bill.
3. There has never been a census of Catholics or any other in Imo to come to your bogus claim that 70% of Imo people are catholics.
4. Your stance on this debate will be tested on the day that your girl on the side (like most Nigerian men usually has) come and inform you that he is expecting your baby, after your last wrestling match in a seedy cash only motel.
5.No sex, no abortion, if all Imo men keeps the stick firmly zipped and all Imo sisters firmly cements all boreholes-There will be no pregnancy and no abortion, based on your staggering 70% claim in mind.
6.All those bible doctors should be made to swear before that bible that they have never touched any woman that isn't their mrs- or do they grade sin now in the land of bible doctors?

7.Finally, the beauty of Christianity is the the freedom the proper founder (Jesus) attached to it. He made it clear that its a religion of choice. That why through the bible he gave people choices. Hence the choices we individually makes will be between us and our creators. Catholic holy people, Hypocrites Jesus called them, they tend make much fuss about the scratching noise of a mouse but ignores the pounding noise of an elephant. These are the same doctors that leave people to die until they put down a hefty deposit and that doesn't include life.

aryzgreat:

Ur point is? Abortion is MURDER! Fornication is sin, adding murder to it has severe punishment. If a gal is raped, its not her fault bt her sin will be greater if she decide to kill d forming child. Life cycle begins from conception, so s foetus has soul. If she doesn't want d child let her brace up give birth and take d child to any motherless babies home. She won't av any blame fo doing so.

Dan Anyiam:
The simplicity of your argument, one has to conclude that you has before been molested, you carried the pregnancy, gave the birth and bang!! gave to the child to your mentioned motherless babies home just like that, of which I will like to know where this handy babies home is located

biafranqueen: Look at the faces of those PARENTLESS CHILDREN do they look happy

Anyone that comes here shouting bible verses have never spent time in a motherless baby home. The same ones saying if a girls molested to keep it would never in a million years marry a single girl with a baby.
The other ones spewing trash about just drop them off and move on would never even think about adopting one.

Until we spent time in the Motherless Home my husband would tell me the same trash about not adopting a child, who knows the parents blood, they will probably corrupt my own children, I don't want a child whom I don't know the lineage. But when the babies were holding on to him hugging him and grabbing him and our children beg him, he finally said he will think about it just this year and I have been begging him for 4. All his family is against it that is what is taking so long, but they all go to church every Sunday without fail.

biafranqueen: How many motherless baby homes do you support. Or which one do you support. How many have you visit? You people are quick to tell them to drop them off but they are already under funded. Would you adopt a motherless child

biafranqueen:

Here is a direct quote from a Senator from the North

The last few weeks have been weeks of reflection for north Nigeria. A region where the leaders – from the parents, to the traditional/religious leadership and up to the governors, and presidents, have failed in absolute proportions.
The governor of Kano, Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso put it out straight and unglazed. ‘Our problem, the insecurity is the failure of us as parents, the society at large and the leadership.’

Of the children, he said, “they grow up to hate themselves, hate their parents, hate the leaders, and hate the government and the society. They feel they were deprived, they feel injustice and they become enemies of the state and constituted authorities; and thereby becoming vulnerable to crime and violence.”

He further explained that typical northern parents have 20-30 children and keep two or three they like, while sending off the remaining dozens out into the almajiri world to never know love.

biafranqueen: Yes that is the point I ma making in South Africa it is legal and they have less abortions then any where in Africa.
What is your solution?
33,000 women died last year from illegal abortions!
I am waiting for your own solutions not just shouting religious dogma!

3ace: I am surprised at this comment particularly coming from a lady. Are you saying a female should keep a pregnancy for a ràpist? I pray it doesn't happen to you.

Abortion is simply a womans right to control what happens within her body. I have met several single mothers in Nigeria. One thing I always ask them in our conversations is; WHY DIDNT YOU JUST GET AN ABORTION? and their reply is always, I WAS SCARED OF DYING.. And I couldnt blame them. Many girls die every year in this country from abortion simply because we have created an avenue for quacks to scheme money off these women and basically kill them. Many of these girls never go on to attain their full potential because of this.

FUNNY!! Most of the anti-abortion campaigners here would NEVER!!! I repeat, NEVER!!!!! allow their male siblings marry a single mother. Infact, most of the anti-abortion campaigners here would never consider marrying a single mother and adopting their children. NO NEED TO FRONT ONLINE, WE ALL KNOW THE TRUTH.. Infact, most of the people here talking, their extended family would never welcome a single mother into their midst, talkless of accepting a 'BASTARD' as a part of them.. YES!! I SAID IT!! 'BASTARD!! Thats what these kids are 'GRAMMATICALLY SPEAKING' _{This is grown man talk here, Lets please put sentiments aside...}

I know my society. I still remember when a young girl from a HIGHLY _{Emphasis on HIGHLY} Christian home got impregnanted by one street urchin in the neighbourhood where I grew up. I remember how they tried to cover up the news but it spread nonetheless. I remember how the girl was shipped to their village to stay with her grandma. I remember how they packed up and moved out of the neighbourhood a few months later from shame.. I remember seeing them about 2 - 4 years later in their new house, I remember entering their house and seein the girl in the house.. I remember not seeing a trace of that child anywhere.. I remember attending her wedding, and still no sign of the kid.. I remember later hearing that they either disposed of the child or dumped him in a home... #Poor Girl.. She still cant look at any of that knew about the child in the face.


We can look at this from a biological perspective, child right perspective, Womens right perspective, societal perspective, religous perspective, legal perspective, e.t.c.. The one thing we all can agree is that this is a very complicated matter that is bigger than 'ABORTION IS MURDER, SIMPLE!'.

Idi Amin: Seriously, catholics should stop this their "holier than thou" attitude. Why are they complaining when their so called Rev SISTERS are the major players in "ABORTION SECTOR". I just read the article in between the lines now and understood the content of the bill. Why would a woman keep a pregnancy for an armed robber/rapist or a pregnancy that might endanger her life?

SELENAqueensy: Neva believed abortion was such an evil ting until i read a book "souls of the aborted babies" :' ;(

am really againt dat shit... If u aint ready 2 make babies, den quit fu*ckn or use protection.
Stop depriving d babies thier chance 2 live

Say no to abortion!!
