Actress Etinosa makes case for abortion

Nigerian actress and comedienne, Etinosa Idemudia has argued abortion should be considered an option as the world is filled with hungry innocent children.

The content creator asked if it isn’t preferable for a woman to get rid of a pregnancy than to give birth to a child that will be subjected to long suffering.

Idemudia wondered why the world is strongly against terminating pregnancies especially as many people are not disciplined enough to use condom.

According to her, an impoverished family bringing children into the world should be criminalised, adding that if she is the child, she will never forgive such parents.

She wrote: “With all the hungry Innocent children who are suffering all around, are we still against abortion? Isn’t abortion better than life long suffering? They never asked to be born into all this hardship. If your own future is not sure why bring an innocent person to life.

“You are not discipline enough to use condom so in your selfishness you get your wife pregnant with the 5th child no house no tangible source of income. Bringing that child into the world should be a crime. If I’m that child I’ll never forgive you.

“You will now hear things like “oh my sweet mother suffered for me. The hustle is for Mama. Her sacrifices made me who I am today. She went hungry so I can eat”… I don’t understand. She no see say food no dey before she born you? She is responsible for you! fam! they owe you!!”

Last year, Etinosa quoted an X user’s tweet and said she will undergo surgery to remove her womb soon.

“God bless you. Reason I am doing a surgery soon to take off my womb. No child of mine is coming to this world to wait for death,” she wrote.

Etinosa is best known for her comedy skits which featured various Nollywood actors including Daniel K Daniel.

In 2019, she fueled outrage after going unclad during the live Instagram session of Mc Galaxy, a singer.

Etinosa has been married twice. Her first husband Babatunde Solomon was said to be a military man.

In 2021, her second marriage to Ighorosa, a Benin-based lawyer, crashed after the pair welcomed their first child.

In an interview with Chude Jideonwo in 2023, Etinosa revealed that she got married at 22 and suffered brutal domestic violence from her ex-husband to the extent she almost lost her life.

She said she indulged in illicit substances as an escapism from her cheating and abusive husband.

The actress said she eventually left the marriage after her ceaseless praying and fasting didn’t change her husband.
