I will like to add that Community need to be mobilize to understand the politice here. For things to change and for changes to be sustained community need to be involved at all level. Danger of abortion to women life need to stressed to all.The only way to stop the devils is to mobilized community against abortion.Instead of women going for abortion why get the unwanted pregnancy? why not prevent it by going for contraceptives.
The STATEMENT 'they want to reduce our puplation' is very discouraging statement for those woh want to practice child spacing. THE ARTICLE SHOULD promote prevention of unwanted pregnancy as an alternative to abortion.
Calling names of organizations that support abotion in NIGERIA is not right.We need to write and discourages abortion.The most inportant thing here is to prevent the practice of abortion in Nigeria.
