Big Brother Naija star, Josephina “Phyna” Otabor, has decried being judged for getting an abortion when she was much younger.
She recalled doing it when she was around 20 years old and noted that it is not something she is proud of, but if she gets pregnant now, she will keep the baby.
Phyna opened up during a chat with Doyinsola David on her podcast, Doyin’s Corner, where she also said her claim that every woman has done abortion was twisted by the media.
According to her, the idea of women taking morning after pills is the same as someone who got pregnant choosing to get an abortion.
Speaking further, the winner of BBNaija ‘Level Up’, she made a mistake and did not want to ruin her future that is why she did not keep the child.
Phyna said; “I didn’t want to talk about it [abortion] anymore because it is obvious a lot of bloggers try to twist my words to their satisfaction. This is something that happened a very long time ago, too young, as at then I think around 20 years, I knew I wanted to be somebody in life.
“It’s not something I am proud of, I mean nobody should be proud of that, but this happened while I was younger. I knew what I went through. Nobody knew what I went through, it’s not something I am proud of but let’s call a spade a spade.”
