United Nations Population Funds (UNFPA) Suggests Abortion For Boko Haram Babies by kelechiodo(m): 4:05am On May 19, 2015
The Foundation for African Heritage (FACH), a coalition of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) has kicked against plans to help girls who were raped by boko haram terrorists secure an abortion.

THIS DAY reports that FACH registered its displeasure after the United Nations Population Funds (UNFPA) and some foreign NGOs suggested that the rescued girls be sent to the abortion clinics to have their babies aborted or that abortion be legalised in Nigeria.

Speaking on behalf of FACH, Mr. Sonnie Ekwowus said that having experienced unspeakable trauma, dehumanisation and violence in the hands of their Boko Haram captors, it is unreasonable and illogical to subject the girls to a traumatic, violent-wrecking and life-threatening abortion process.

She added that FACH members were offering free maternity homes and rehabilitation homes where the girls could willingly go to safely give birth to their babies and afterwards could give them out for legal adoption if, for any reasons, they do not want to keep them.

Wont they be tried for genocide? What is difference between killing those babies and the bombing boko haram are carrying out?

They should rehabilitate the women or girls, give them proper health care and train their children when they are given birth to by allowing them to be adopted.

So you guys think such babies are meant to be kept? Don't you know that the boko haram babies will be a reminder of the gruesome experience to the girls who were kidnapped? Do you think they can ever love them?

You guys don't know anything. I go with the UN on that. I think it's better for them to abort the babies and start a new life. If there's anytime to abort a child, it's in a case like that. God forbid, but would you advise your own sister or wife to keep a rape baby or a boko haram baby? Please, the UN has given wise counsel, it's not about taboo or tradition right now... it's about doing what's effective.

Apparently, these girls are messed up physiologically. They were tortured, molested, raped and got pregnant for the Boko guys. The damage done is irreversible though, abortion may not be an option to most people but they deserve their life back and UN is trying to achieve that goal.

If they survived months in boko haram's camp, being raped and abused morning and night with little or no food to eat, then trust me, they can survive that. As long as it's done in strict compliance to medical ethics and handled by qualified doctors, it's fine with me.

People like you don't imagine how those wearing the shoes feel. Carrying a baby for nine months knowing they are fathered by unknown boko haram terrorists is enough nightmare. It's easy for you and I to start thinking holy but if some of us here, God forbid, pass thru half of what those girls have been thru, we would have cursed God or committed suicide, especially with our level of awareness and sense of freedom.

Those girls dont deserve more torture because of what you and I believe.. They need a fresh start and they need to cut off all that associates them to that wicked past.

Nairalandist I am a Doctor, even if those girls are not sent to quacks. There may be consequences, how then will they feel if after aborting these babies, they lose their child bearing capacities?

What's the percentage of those who lose their child bearing capacity after abortion by a qualified expert, especially for just a one-time operation? Please give us statistics doctor, it's not rocket science. Besides, with the level of pyschological damage done, I'd say they stand to lose more bearing those babies.

Although, I'm really not here to engage in academic arguments, I think it would be best if you had this argument with a shrink (psychologist) and see things from another medical perspective.

Who would want to adopt an off spring of Boko haram? You?

Put yourself in their shoes and tell me you would carry a baby fathered by boko haram in such gruesome condition. It ain't easy bro.

This is a very difficult decision but I support aborting the babies.

Ah, but you see since they have been raped, the underlying tissues may have been forcefully torn or broken. Since most of them were minors. This makes D & C very dangerous and difficult to perform. Their best bet will be to administer drugs like Mife or misosprotol, but even that in itself is dangerous. I understand your point from a psychological view, at the end of the day it all boils down to the choice of the girls

Yea, that's exactly how I feel. Each of them should be asked what they want to do with the pregnancy, I'm sure they all won't want the same thing.
