UNBELIEVABLE: Abortion Kills 34,000 Women In Nigeria

It has been revealed that more
than 34,000 young women die
from abortion and its
complications every year in

Nigeria.
This is according to statistics
reeled out by the President
General of Umuada Igbo Nigeria
and in the Diaspora, Dr. Kate
Ezeofor at a sensitisation
seminar held for rural women in
the community on women's
reproductive health and rights
and safe family planning
method..

According to Ezeofor, who
addressed rural women in
Amesi, Aguata Local Government
Area of Anambra State on
Wednesday, a recent study
showed the burden of abortion
is even more destructive.
She said the study showed that
for every one girl that died as a
result of abortion, 20 others
were impaired for life.
The Umuada Igbo leader said
most of the fatal abortions
resulted from attempts to
terminate unwanted
pregnancies using quacks.

She added further that Umuada
Igbo had been going round
Igboland organising seminars
and programmes to teach
families on how to space their
children to attain a healthy and
better family.
