The situations are pretty different. This lady has an actual medical condition, and I doubt she really wanted to have that many kids, that's an INSANE amount of kids. Imagine the effects on her body. |
I'm not trying to shame her. I'm trying to shame the doctors that she went to that refused to help her. And her oldest children are in their 20s. Why are they still living at home, dependent on her? |
If she had money, they would do it. Since she doesn't, they won't. It's as simple as that. There are many third-world hospitals and medical centers that WILL NOT treat you unless you bring cash. You could be dying and they will refuse you. https://www.apnews.com/daf47512c8f74e869b722782299b4a0e https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/59xxkd/nigeria-hospital-detention-folake-oduyoye |
Alright, on those points I agree. The children should be gone and getting jobs at 18 or joining the military service. The doctors are just unwilling to do anything without getting paid. |
STFU. Do you live in Uganda? Do you think she had a choice in any of this? Spousal rape is not even recognized as rape in many countries you ignorant twit. |
|
The fact that any woman in America thinks they have anything other than ovaries and a uterus in common with this woman is a joke.
Get out of your bubble, stop judging other people based on your limited life experiences. |
So now she is a rape victim on the grounds of having a husband? Perhaps he could have gotten the snip |
The point is you do not know their story or background. Have you ever worked with women in third world counties? |
Actually we do know her story - it's in the news article OP posted. |
NP here, you likely think you sound smart, but the only thing your comment shows is how very ignorant you are. Simpleton, they live in a 3rd world country and therefore play by a different set of rules. |
| It’s a miracle she hasn’t died from pregnancy or birth-related complications. That’s probably how her story will end. |
She has been sterilized now, fortunately. |
100% of unwanted/unplanned pregnancies are caused by men. |
| I feel very sorry for this woman, and I think the medical system there, and her husband, have failed her terribly. Most likely some of the older children are living at home to help her care for the younger ones. |

She was sold as a bride at 13.
She ased to stop having children after 8. Her husband forced her to have children. Her grandmother found out she was being abused and got her away from her husband. She has a condition that makes it impossible to do a tubal. |
