“Girls, that man you’re busy aborting babies for has five other girls doing the same,” Zari cautioned. “In the future, you’ll want to settle down and have kids, and it won’t be possible. Condomise or give birth to your child.” the Young, Famous and African star shared on Instagram.
As Lauryn Hill once sang, “How you gon’ win when you ain’t right within?” The lyrics from “That Thing” from he Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album, resonate deeply with Zari’s message, stressing the need for young women to make choices that honour their bodies and their future.
The overuse of P2 pills, often seen as a quick fix, can have long-term effects on a woman’s reproductive health.
The pills are not meant for regular use, and relying on them too frequently can lead to hormonal imbalances, irregular periods, and in some cases, infertility.
Abortion, particularly unsafe or repeated procedures, can also lead to serious complications, including infections, damage to the uterus, and an increased risk of infertility.
