People who have had abortions: what’s one thing you wish people knew about your abortion?

At some point in Nigeria we might have to review our laws on abortion.

Because of these strict laws people with unwanted pregnancy are meeting quacks who are doing substandard abortions & killing lot of women

Allow professionals do it & we won't be having these maternal deaths

“I think most women of my generation can recall our feelings about the fight,” she told the Guardian. “It’s like young love. You may not feel exactly the same, but you remember it.” #RoeVWade

Let's be clear on one thing ladies no one should tell you when to reproduce! No matter how much Patriarchy tries to dictate women's bodily autonomy we have organizations fighting for us. To get safe abortion information speak to a @safe2choose pro choice counselor today.

[ASAP @asapasia]

Medical abortion is an extremely safe & widely used method for ending an unwanted pregnancy across the world, but often due to the stigma & myths around can be a scary choice. If you've had a similar experience, share it with others, support them & their right to bodily autonomy

[MSI Reproductive Choices @MSIchoices]

I left the seminar feeling angry that I live in a society that treats abortion as a moral issue instead of a human rights issue.

I left knowing I was a victim of the system not of my own decisions.

[Gaopalelwe 🌹 @Gao_Phala]

All of these and probably more are real but we dont hear about them, talk about it because abortion is severely stigmatized and often we find ourselves alone.

[Gaopalelwe 🌹 @Gao_Phala]

Feeling incredible loss
Feeling incredible guilt due to stigma
Post Traumatic Stress disorder from an unsafe physically traumatic termination
Some safe abortions can be extremely painful as well
Anxiety about future pregnancies
Depression

Thread: TW: Post Abortion Trauma

So post abortion trauma is real and it comes in different forms. Some examples include

[Feminist Witch 🇵🇸🇨🇩🇸🇩🌙 @DonCorleANN]

It's 2021 and only 5 African countries have legalized abortion.

- Zambia (1972)
- Tunisia (1973)
- South Africa (1996)
- Mozambique (2014)
- Benin (2021)

[Zamara Foundation @Zamara_fdn]

We join the rest of the world in congratulating Benin 🇧🇯 on its historic achievement!!✊🏽✊🏽

The passing of two essential legislation for the protection and liberation of women in Benin is indeed a big victory for providers and women seeking abortion in Benin.
