750,000 women commit abortion yearly – NURHI

IBADAN -NIGERIAN Urban Reproductive Health Initiative, NURHI, has disclosed that not less than 750,000 abortions are committed yearly in the country, bemoaning the lackadaisical attitude of the three tiers of government to family planning.

Among these women that commit abortion, 545 of them  die per 100,000 most of whom are married women whose percentage was put at 35.

This was disclosed by Mrs. Stella Akinso, State Team Leader, NURHI, and Dr. Celina Johnson at a sensitization workshop organised for various stakeholders in the helath sector in Ibadan.

NURHI with other groups such as Development Communication Network, Planned Parenthood Federation of Nigeria and many others assembled participants to enlighten them more on safe motherhood.

The workshop which witnessed large turn out also called the attention of government to the need for disbursing money allocated to family planning to the appropriate quarters.

Some of the participants who were sourced from local governments in the state also appealed to the government to stop diverting the money meant for family planning to other concerns.

For the ladies, Pls abortion kills faster than ADIS. It's either u abstain or protect urself.

For the married woman, Why should married woman indulge in such dirty act. they go for it die their and leave their issues to roam about Nigeria hopeless.

Girl, its extremely ignorant to say whats the big deal if a married woman  commits abortion. Then means you too will commit abortion in a heart bit even when you are married. I am so baffled at you after claiming that you are a worshiper of Jesus Christ, could that be hypocritical or being double edged. Even abortion on itself is sin, talk of being married and committing it. Christians are not supposed to be numb to such acts, its only those to whom acts like that is second nature to. By there words we shall know them.
