So many women are poor and cant get an education nor a husband that has one to feed the mouths of children yet are blocked from being able to abort a mouth that cant be fed, this only ends up breeding kids born into god awful homes and end up getting into crime deporting themselves to europe or north america amount to nothing in life whether or not they migrated. Abortion is understandably looked down upon but completely removing the ability to safely abort and plan healthy families strips people of basic human rights and is gonna make overpopulation one of the biggest problems to africa is gonna have to overcome in the coming years

Brilliantly said!
With the way Africans are copulating and making babies, an explosion in its population will have a devastating effect.

The earlier abortion is legalized and even packaged with incentives, the better.

The truth might hurt, but it must be said.

Yes, I agree with you. Murder should be legalized too in Africa. We are already doing a great job at it. In fact, every family should be empowered to own a gun so that we kill off more people. I suggest a free training guide of "How to kill 100 people in a day in Africa with home-made assault rifle". Then you should be among those shot immediately.

Never will this come to pass.

It's morally ungodly. It's an act of murder caed feticide because the foetus has a life.

I know some nairaland secularists will bash me for this comment. Some may even say it's the reason why Africa/Nigeria is not progressing. Ask yourself: Are the abortionists the people developing the western countries?

The researchers and scientists in the western world are too busy with solving problems to be reasoning sexual gratification the way some myopic folks are.

I don't blame una. You guys got away with the legalisation of same sex marriages in some African countries and now you guys are emboldened to demand for the legalisation and normalization of abortions. The strange thing here is that some of you have started using the poverty issues in Africa as a reason to call for more abortions, yet you can not convincingly prove that the much vaunted "population explosion" is the cause of this poverty. We have had bad governance, maladministration, corruption, ethnic and religious rivalries.., obviously, these have mitigated against the abilities of different states to carter to the welfare of their people.

Instead of proffering solutions to these well known problems, generational charlatans and crusaders of evil are all over the place trying to legalize mass murder. Seems like all of a sudden folks have elected to swallow foreign pronouncements on sundry issues line hook and sinker. No one spends time to relate these exotic "solutions" to the realities on the ground.. We willfully want to sound abstract because somehow that makes us look like great thinkers! As long as structural issues associated with the fake nature of African States still endure, the problem of poverty and squalid existence will still be here. The problem in this case is not the population! The problem here is the mismanagement of the population, the state and the economy! Period!!!

So many women ,,

practice what you preach by aborting yourself first ,

just go and kill yourself and your family members , then others will fellow your footstep.

No tunisia and cape Verde lowered their births rates to a sustainable level after implementing the legalization of abortion, I dont expect you guys to be overrun with asians or europeans I just stand for universal human rights much like this guy

What's your problem with "birth rates"?

owobokiri:

What's your problem with "birth rates"?

I dont have one as long as they're not so high to the point where the parents cant provide a decent life for their kids. 2.2 or below births per woman is generally the amount of kids most families on the planet can reasonably afford

Abortion is not the problem, is making sure that we secure all our resources fir our own benefits. The reason why there is hunger in Africa is because children in France and england are feeding fat on our resources we need to cut the supplies for the benefits of our own children

Having children is not the problem but the thieves from Europe and America and their agents in Africa who aid the stealing basic resources are the problem

Na true talk, Maybe they for don abort you and that man in Abuja to avoid this useless post.

Let's relate this to Nigeria. Is the problem the quantity of kids per family in this country or is it a problem of a dysfunctional economy that is so unproductive it can't even provide for half the number of the population in this country today? And if the problem lies with the countrys inability to produce enough, even for a small population, why the desperation to go for population reduction when quicker industrialization can help solve the problems of poverty?

SO THAT AFRICA CAN BE RAPISTS HEAVEN, BLEEP FREE ZONE AND FETUSES DESTROYERS CONTINENT.

SO THAT AFRICA CAN BE RAPISTS HEAVEN, BLEEP FREE ZONE AND FETUSES DESTROYERS CONTINENT. THAT'S TO SAY, AFRICANS ARE MADE FOR LAWS AND NOT LAWS FOR AFRICANS.

You just answered your own question in the first sentence of the 2nd paragraph in the phrase "is it a problem of a dysfunctional economy that is so unproductive it can't even provide for half the number of the population in this country today", faster industrialization isn't gonna occur in a hyper corrupt country where education is hard to recieve much less in a country with a huge portion of the population below working age, to give you an idea of what happens when population sizes vastly overcome what the people in a country can actually provide this is an image of india

The point is that if you slice Nigerias population by half today, without doing anything about corruption, ethnic politics and maladministration, the population here will STILL BE dirt poor! That's the point I'm trying to make. Take a look at a country like Equatorial Guinea, .. It has a population of roughly half a million people and is producing a reasonable amount of oil. The ruling house has cornered everything and the people are still wallowing in abject poverty. Yet the population is not up to that of a local government in Lagos State! Is that a question of population explosion or simple corruption? Talking of Lagos State, it has an economy bigger than most West African states, yet struggles to compete with these African states in terms of service delivery, rather using smaller Nigerian states as yardsticks to measure her productivity.

In essence when you guys willfully go for this population reduction alternatives, you do so not because it has proven to be the best for the continent, but because it has been suggested somewhere else. The problem here is that of bad governance! If you have good governance with a healthy management of the resources of the country, and you still struggle to feed the population, then you can start worrying about population. We can't feed enough Nigerians. That's a fact. But it's also a fact that we are not mechanizing agriculture as quickly as we should and as such sharply low in terms of outputs. Government failure! How many Nigerian youths have the necessary skills to compete in a modern economy? How many are even employable? You can't skill the youth of your country enough to be productive and you want a competitive economy?

Legal abortion only helps women in poverty stricken communities from having kids they cant afford to feed or provide a life for it's already been documented several times for decades of Nigerian women taking on illegal abortion to prevent the creation of unstable families(heres some links to articles https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/26410397.2020.1758445, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1169586/,https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/features/2021/2/9/nigeria-illegal-backstreet-abortion-clinics) I can understand that this countries poor economy and government play a role into the quality of life of Nigerians, but legal abortion can help prevent the problems this country faces from getting any worse since it stops even more kids from being born into poor communities in dysfunctional homes to grow up as the criminals were experiencing now that are in human trafficking groups, boko haram, drug dealers and scammers, I dont want less kids I want less kids born into horrible environments so that they turn out as horrible people
