@papirouge @msburgundy
Because @papirouge blocked me so I could not respond. I am going to adress 2 of your points.
I explained why abortion has no translation in most NOT all of African LANGUAGES.
You are not from every country in Africa. And i highly doubt you speak every African language from Krio, Hausa, Twi, Yoruba, Igbo, And the 101 different languages and dialects under each of these languages.
So lets address the first lie.
There is a language equivalent for a abortion but it is not called abortion in Yoruba.
It is not a single word.
It is called Yö Oyun. It means to remove a pregnancy which means abortion.
But if you actually read what I wrote. There is no single word for abortion the same way their arent words that start with an X or a Z in so many African languages. Or no word equivalent for Biology. Or chemistry.
I am not a linguist. But common sense says the english language is based off the root words of the Latin language and Greek Language. We do not have the same equivalent words for a lot of them. Bc they are different languages and root words
There is no equivalent African word for hysterectomy or cancer but it does it mean it stops existing.
Point 2: i am not sure if this point is towards my point or not.
The OP asked a question about Abortion relating Africans.
Lets get some things straight.
1. Abortion is not a new concept or tool created by the West or Western Medicine.
Abortion has existed since women having been having sex or being raped.
Surgical abortion is somewhat a new concept. Probably around 17th centuary?
Back then women would go to farmers or "witches" but really just midwives to get back alley abortions. In the back of the barn.
Margaret Singer & Planned Parenthood did not invent abortion.
I keep seeing this shit and its fucking stupid and fucking annoying. And shows how a lot of you have no understanding of the history of Gynecological & Obstretic health past Western medicine.
The medical term for a miscarriage is literally called a Self Abortion.
Whether it is the body making that makes the choice for you or a woman making the choice for her body. Abortion one way or another still ends up happening.
2. The history of a abortion relating to Margaret Singer is a mute point concerning Africans. The culture and the customs.
African women arent getting abortions in mind to exterminate the Negro race.
Most african women getting these abortions arent even aware of racial relations or even the history of racism in the US. They dont teach the Alantic Slave Trade in Nigeria as part of history. Or Jim Crow.
Shocking but the US & the West isnt the sum of the worlds history.
African women & girls still get abortions despite it being banned. We make abortion legal and we need it legal in the US so other countries who are on the fence look to America for their progressive policies to help develop their own respective countries.
There is no way in any good conscious can you justify why an 8 year old child should carry a pregnancy to term.
And unlike America. Unfortunately these numbers arent small or miniscule
Nigeria makes 40% of child marriages for all of West Africa.
Ages on avg 11+. Depending on the region those ages go lower.
A lot of these girls die in child birth. They dont make it to see 16 years of age.
Fistuals, incontinence, hemorrhaging, internal bleeding etc. All of this on the body of a 12 year old child
Abortion is women's healthcare and it is apart of Gynecological & Obstretic care.
@papirouge blocked me which was ironic because in the post she said "she is delusional and can never seem to justify her points why she is against "bleaching or US foreign policies but not abortion"
Well here is why I am for it
Child marriage is still happening actively on certain parts of the continent. Women are being raped and they rarely reach court to get justice.
Genocide, tribal war and war rape continues to still happen.
So @papirouge why do you want the body of little girls to carry a pregnancy to term that will kill them?
