Women After Abortion.

@wonderbob
tot i saw u come out of that hospital in your street (name witheld),did u went to buy some drugs for your malaria??

women in such situation can struggle with anxiety and depression for a long time.  especially if their pregnancy has lasted for longer than a simple abortion pill will be able to terminate. going through surgical termination is more overwhelming. I feel even worse for the doctors that have this as their occupation.

some other women (such as prostitutes or women in places with low contraceptive education etc), probably, are better conditioned not to feel much emotions after abortion. just a survival skill i guess.

^ this is a good article from bellanaija that is interesting to read and at the same time veryy relevant to the topic at hand.

http://www.pregnancycenters.org/abortion.html

here is another link that has a lot of details about abortion procedures and impacts. the methods are quite graphic and i feel for the women who go through those abortions 

it is choice and your view on whether it is wrong or not depends on WHEN you think life begins in the womb.

is it at conception? fertilisation? embyro, foetus? or full blown baby? (later stages of formation generally)

I am PRO-CHOICE - yes let all the christians who want to insult me, tell me it is a sin, but when you are btwn the devil and the deep blue sea, and it is hard decision, sometimes ppl do it for the right reasons. be it health wise, psychologically, fianancially.
Obviously it is a last resort and should not be used as a regular method of contraception (these kinds of girls annoy me)

if God wish

sadly it is cheaper in naija to abort than buy cintraception for say 3 months.

No be small thing o.
There doesnt seem to be anything wrong with abortion as long as it is done for the right reason. So Should abortion be legalize or not???

@ JJYOU

Thanks for the link.

"Most women who struggle with past abortions say that they wish they had been told all of the facts about abortion and its risks."

The aim of this topic is to avoid the had I known cry. So sincere advice based on experience should be posted here.

@iice,
this preganacy sorry thread has stayed too long,
am aborting it now.
get the theater ready and my tools aswell.

abortion is bad

To me, I don’t think it’s totally wrong.  Sometimes it’s done for the right reasons. I have a friend who did it cos she started having complications in her second month of pregnancy. Mind you, she’s married with two kids already.

Then I have this lady friend that married her husband without knowing they were both AS. Now about 15 years after the marriage, 3 of their children have dies from Sickle Cell. Now she gets pregnant, goes for genetic testing and aborts it if it’s SS.

I also know of a Girl who thought all her life that she was AA because she did the test once and found the results told her she was AA. Then she fell in love with a guy that was AS. She got pregnant and they decided to get married. Only for them to go for the compulsory genetic testing and find out she was AS. They had to do several tests and all of them resulted to her being AS. She had no choice but to abort the baby and break up without her Fiancée; because she doesn’t want to live a life of abortions and genetic testing’s.

As awful as the procedure is, there’s a reason it was invented in the first place. People do it for the right reasons sometimes.

This thread is a waste of space. 

I did?

I think there's a consensus here that abortion is flat out wrong because it is what it is the taking of life.
And even at that people still say it non-chalantly.

Our society doesn't value life anymore.
If the least amongst us cannot be protected how do we expect to protect everyone else.

Abortion should never be a choice. I don't see how murder should be a choice. And at no time is there a medical reason to determine which life is better. In orders no medical reason to have an abortion. Unless someone wishes to explain to me how we can choose which life is more important.

But at Poster.

I am confused. Are you really expecting women to come here and tell their ordeal?
Women suffer psychologicall from this. I personally know one who suffers nightmares. Thank God with the birth of her child now she sleeps a bit better, but she occasionally gets depressed over the other child that she aborted.

Abortion is a disservice to women.

We need to learn self control and that's the problem. There is no such thing as chastity anymore and now we've resulted to killing a life in order to have our own lives.
Since when do people die for not having sex?

You'll be amazed how very few those guys are. One I know got his gf preggers and proposed to her, they were in college. She went and had an abortion because she didn't want to be pregnant on her wedding day. He called off the wedding because he couldn't marry the woman who killed his son.
They found out it was a boy.
The stupidity of some women never cease to amaze me.
