Proudgorgeousga: I doubt if you menstruate but if you do, you must do so for 365 days of the year because you are too cranky. Talking to me does not mean your existence was not a fluke of an abortion. I am sure the abortion pills used on you failed but the side effects are what we are seeing in your mentally leprous state which is evident in your verbose and sense of reasoning viz a viz your convo. You must have aborted a few of yours if this topic hurts you this bad to say the rubbish you just did at the end of your comment. All of those you flushed must have been deformed as an extended after effect of your failed abortion from your carrier. The cycle must be hurting you so bad. People like you do not deserve wombs if you had any, then donate it to someone who deserves them, otherwise go get a sezx change since menstruation and pregnancy disgust you. Bobrisky is always available to mentor you. Leprechauns do not belong on Nairaland. So dig a hole and cover yourself up in it. |

Proudgorgeouga ,this is what I post to johndon22... let's say there was an egg that had been fertilized. The womb is an hazardous place to be without implantion. Especially during menstruation. The uterus swells, it contracts, it shed the lining that the egg would've implanted on. If the womb didn't dissolve the fertilized egg before the period, it wouldn't be in a position to stay in there ... Catfishbelly...what do you enjoy in foul statement |

vaxx: Without the sperm the egg is useless in its function and without the egg the sperm is useless as well. For each to attain purpose they need to come together then life as we know it begins its process of actualisation. When they do combine the process is known as fertilisation. This fertilised egg then travels down the Fallopian tube into the womb in order to implant itself in the womb lining. Once this is done then conception is said to have occurred. Proudgorgeousga mentioned anovulation. Anovulation means that an egg is not released ovulation does not occur in such a person. However a person who is going through Anovulation can still menstruate. For those who ovulate and fertilisation occurs and the egg fails to implant itself in the womb then the signal needed by the body to cause a stoppage of menstruation fails and menstruation occurs, shedding the womb lining and the failed egg along with it. 1 Like |

vaxx:There was so much wrong with this your post that I just ignored it. I saw it the first time you posted it. When different people repeatedly tell you the same thing and you still refuse to learn, it becomes frustrating. I didn't use foul statement. What I said might be considered rude, but definitely not foul statement. |

Dohgon: Humanism does not support slavery or colonization. Again, read up about humanism. Humanism pushes a kind of universal morality based on logic. Humanism respects life and human rights. |

johnydon22: A person is a union of cells but a union of cells is not necessarily a person. A foetus is not considered a legal person in any jurisdiction in the world. Even where abortion is illegal, you can only be charged for aborting a baby and not murdering a baby. If you "kill" a baby 5mins before birth, you will be charged with abortion, if you kill a baby 5mins after birth, you will be charged with murder. My own views is that women should have the final decisions of whether they want to keep a pregnancy or abort it, but a time limit should be allowed for the woman to decide - probably 0 to 6 weeks after conception. The consequences of forcing unwanted babies on women and the society pose more danger on society than abortion. I have seen newly born babies floating inside the Lagos lagoon and my wife had seen a new born dumped in a refuse heap in navy town, still alive and coveted with ants. Luckily, the baby was saved. You cannot force a woman to have a baby she does not want as punishment for sexual immorality. 4 Likes 1 Share |

vaxx: The error is in your last line in your comment which says "If the womb didn't dissolve the fertilized egg before the period, it wouldn't be in a position to stay in there " The womb cannot dissolve the fertilised egg. It can only shed it. The egg itself is too tiny to be seen with the ordinary eye so I understand when you used the term "dissolve". It is only when the egg fails to implant that it can be shed or when it does not implant properly then excessive spotting or stress on the womb can cause it to be shed which is what is termed as a miscarriage or spontaneous abortion. Why it is called a miscarriage or spontaneous abortion is because FIRST conception had already been achieved when the egg was implanted and the hormones for pregnancy released which at a test showed positive for pregnancy. Any incident that causes a shedding of the egg thereafter is known as a spontaneous abortion or a miscarriage. |

A fetus is NOT a member of society hence doesn't have any rights, so I see nothing INSTRINSICALLY wrong in abortion. But like everything else, it's not a matter of black and white. There are grey areas, and that's where the complexities come in. I think every abortion case should be judged on its own merit. So, GENERALLY, I'm pro-abortion. The debate on abortion is not a moral debate, because there's no point in considering abortion from a moral perspective. Abortion is a judicial and socio-economic issue, and it is from these spheres that conclusions can be drawn on its legality or not. Tozara 1 Like |

ToZaraWithaZ: This is a fetus at developmental stages. From 12 to 40 weeks it is known as a fetus. At 40 weeks can you tell me that this fetus is NOT a person? I have attached the developmental stages picture and a lone picture of a 40 week old fetus. Tell me if the 40 week old fetus you see in the picture is a zombie or a robot and not a person

ToZaraWithaZ: Simply because laws are made does not make those man made laws ALWAYS right. When does life begin to be accounted as life? Is it at conception or at birth? If you say it is at birth then is the baby in the womb not a living thing? |

butterflyl1on:The debate is not about what "LIFE" is - plants are alive too, and so are all the animals we kill for meat. You can't use "life" as a basis for criminilizing abortion. Being alive doesn't automatically make you a human being with rights. An amoeba is alive too! In our human society, murder only refers to the killing of HUMANS, and nothing else. So, is a fetus human? Absolutely not..... not in the actual sense of what it means to be human. So, it is absurd for you to term abortion murder. But of course, a distinction needs to be made between a fetus and a baby. And that's where the debate comes in, and the complexity ensues. Do you now get my reason for saying that the debate on abortion is never a matter of black and white, and each instance of it should be judged purely on its own merits? Definitely, there can be no question that abortion during the EARLIEST weeks of pregnancy cannot be in anyway considered criminal, since no one can refer to the fetus as a baby at that point. There's clearly no ambiguity in this case and nothing to argue about. But what about later into the pregnancy? That's where it gets complex, and it is up to health experts to establish the point of transition of a fetus into a baby, and make a distinctive boundary. It's that simple. Besides, no sane person should even be contemplating abortion when the pregnancy is already quite old, as it'll probably be more risky doing it, and whatever happens in the end can only be judged based on its own merits as well. Depending on the circumstances, the medical practitioner involved might even be convicted. The law is not just about simplistic moral ideas, but often involves certain technicalities. I expect you to know this. Tozara 4 Likes 1 Share |

butterflyl1on:My friend, dafuq are you talking about? 40 weeks?! That should be ten months, if I'm not mistaken? Who aborts at ten months? Do you even read your own posts? And I did say there should be a distinction between a fetus and a baby. Because a baby is human virtually in every sense of the word. 1 Like 1 Share |

ToZaraWithaZ: The debate is all about life. Plants do not have flesh. Animals are not homo sapiens so the issue of abortion or murder is all about life and when it actually can be termed as a human life. Those laws you refer to are often put in place by selfish humans. Imagine if these same set of humans had foreknowledge of abortion when they were yet fetuses do you think that even they would approve their own deaths as fetuses? Every human creature has the inherent desire to live and would fight for this right to live. Even as fetuses they fight to live. You fought to live and you succeeded. If you were to decide your own fate or you could communicate with your mother while in the womb while she was debating keeping or aborting you what do you think you would have told her? When anyone is gasping for air it's an attempt to live. A craving for life. Anyone would fight you if they could if you tried taking their lives away. If they decide to end their own lives by themselves then they exercised their personal rights to either retain or end their existence. Besides that nobody should make this choice for anyone be they fetuses or birthed. |
