The proposed Safe Abortion Bill has sparked widespread debate, with critics arguing that it undermines the sanctity of life and promotes immorality. Opponents are urging the government to focus on programs that empower women without compromising the lives of unborn children.

As discussions on the Safe Abortion Bill intensify, concerns are being raised about its implications for society. Critics of the bill argue that it overlooks the rights of unborn children and diverts attention from addressing more pressing issues that impact women’s lives.

“There is no such thing as a safe abortion,” one critic stated. “The focus should be on protecting both women and unborn children. Every child has the right to live, and it is our collective duty to ensure their survival.”

Opponents believe the government should redirect its efforts toward impactful initiatives that support women’s health, education, and economic empowerment, rather than encouraging abortion.

They also emphasize the importance of personal responsibility and morality, particularly among young girls and women. “If you don’t want to become a mother, the best approach is to prevent yourself from engaging in risky behaviour. Even preventive measures have risks, and abstinence remains the safest choice,” another critic noted.

The debate has sparked calls for fostering a culture that values morality, respect for life, and the fear of God. “As a nation, we must build women who respect themselves and uphold the values of our Creator, instead of promoting practices that lead to immorality.”

The controversy surrounding the Safe Abortion Bill continues to divide opinions, with many urging policymakers to consider alternative approaches that protect life while addressing women’s welfare holistically.
