The winner of Big Brother Naija 'Level Up,' Phyna, has sparked controversy with her recent statement in an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo. During the interview, she confidently asserted that every woman has experienced one or two abortions, prompting a strong reaction from the public.
Phyna's bold declaration was rooted in her personal experience of having an abortion at a young age, which she candidly shared during the interview. However, this statement didn't sit well with everyone, and she faced backlash for making such a sweeping generalization about women and abortion.
In response to the criticism, a fan confronted Phyna on her social media page, asking if she had thought before making such a sweeping statement about abortion. Phyna, undeterred, stood her ground and reiterated her belief that, barring virgins, virtually every sexually active woman has undergone some form of abortion. She went on to argue that even using a morning-after pill after sexual intercourse should be considered a form of abortion in her view.
Phyna concluded her response by labeling her critics as hypocrites and encouraging them to continue voicing their objections. She made it clear that in her perspective, the only women exempt from her assertion are virgins, and any woman engaging in sexual activity, even if it involves using emergency contraception, should acknowledge their involvement in abortion, as per her beliefs.
The debate surrounding Phyna's statement continues to generate discussions and differing opinions within the public sphere. While some may support her perspective, others find her generalization on such a sensitive topic to be a cause for concern. The discourse underscores the importance of open and informed discussions on issues related to women's reproductive health and choices.
