Pro-Life African Woman Wrecks BBC News Anchor In Abortion Debate (REACTION)

A heated debate took place during a BBC News segment when the subject of access to “birth control” (mainly abortion) was brought up. One one side you have a proponent of abortion - BBC News anchor Babita Sharma - a woman of Indian descent in the UK. On the other side you have an opponent of abortion - Pro-Life Advocate Obianuju Ekeocha - a Nigerian woman currently living in the UK. It was … interesting (to say the least) to witness an Indian woman who was most likely born and raised in the United Kingdom attempt to tell an African woman born and raised in Nigeria what the best thing for women in Africa would be.

The BBC News reporter’s stance was that access to abortion and “birth control” would assist in alleviating the cycle of poverty in Africa. Of the many brilliant and pointed rebuttals Uju (her nickname) had … the most important one was that those who wish to help African women should actually listen to African women. Let them tell you what they need and either fulfill those demands or don’t. Birth control is close to the last thing on the list when you have more desperate and immediate needs like food and water. Sharma’s other point was basically why do women have so many children in Africa when they are in deep poverty. What she does not understand is the infant mortality rate in Africa or the life expectancy rate. A high birth rate is a natural thing under such circumstances. When greater things in a person’s life improves such as access to food, water, and education, infant mortality and the birth rate fall while life expectancy rises.

Babita Sharma’s western solution of birth control and abortion to reduce African poverty is one of pure fantasy and also unwanted. Charity should be given on the basis of demand and or acceptance, rather than being force-fed to people who do not desire it. The forcible implementation of ideas onto a people who don’t want them is reminiscent of colonialism which ended fairly recently in many African countries. Many of these countries still pay colonial tax to France. The moral of the story here is to respect individuals’ choices and their sovereignty as a nation.
