Phyna Recants Opinion About Getting Rid Of Pregnancy

Former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) ‘Level Up,’ winner, Phyna has retracted a statement she made that every woman in the world has at one point undergone an abortion. In a public statement on her Instagram page, the actress said she did not mean to project it on every female gender.  She emphasized that she will never encourage abortion, especially not in this part of the world, where it can pose a great threat to the life of the person with the illegal and unhealthy procedures that surround it. Read her statement below: “I am Josephina Otabor, also known as Phyna, and I write this statement to address the issues concerning an interview I did months ago where I talked about a very sensitive topic and inaccurately suggested that “all” women have engaged in it. Firstly, I would like to address the fact that, as much as I was misunderstood, I didn’t mean to project it on every female gender. I will never encourage abortion, especially not in this part of the world, where it can pose a great threat to the life of the person, with the illegal and unhealthy procedures that surround it. I admit that I was being too expressive in the heat of the interview, hence my assertions. I want to reiterate that abortion is not something I stand for, and I should not be seen in that light. I admit to all the mistakes I made. In addition, I am currently working with gender-based organizations and NGOs to provide sensitization and education about abortion and other societal issues prone to the girl child”.
