Abortion (Part 2) | Unpacked with Relebogile Mabotja - Episode 15 | Season 2

[@Gao_Phala]

Thank you again Relebogile and team for inviting me and Lebo to share our stories. Thank you for this show, I have been interviewed many times but this was different, it was real, authentic and you spoke to us from a sense of such empathy. Wishing all of you so much success and growth. Your show is changing lives.

[@ambrociahventer4576]

Yho this for me is so sensitive.. The way that I cried and feeling the same pain again that I felt when I had mine 18 years ago... I didn't know I am still hiding on to this pain. My body just went through that pain again and it's so uncomfortable.. People who rapes put us through a lot.. I am thanking God that he blessed me with 2 beautiful children and a husband.

[@Thoughtsbyme-ts4jz]

I’m sorry that happened to you

[@mpumelelontombela589]

This has made me appreciate my high school principal even more. She took such good care of pregnant learners. From counseling them, informing the parents, ensuring they didn't miss assignment dates and exams. Some if us judged and felt like they got better treatment whereas they have disgraced the school but as I am now an adult I understand why she was so understanding and cared about them. I'm not saying teenage pregnancy is right but we see it all the time. Watching Lebos story made me realize what other students go through. In our school you would get in trouble for making any student feel uncomfortable no matter what the circumstance.

[@stellamooibedi9027]

I love that all the questions Relebogile asks are not judgemental for me it qualifies her as the Greatest interviewer I have ever come across

Termination is not easy, I hope more women understand that they don't owe anyone keeping a pregnancy and stories of it might be your last is nonsense. Let's take away the shame of termination. And starve the illegal market and save lives of women.

[@moitshepisparkles]

Rele always ask relevant questions.

[@AllThingsLindo]

Something to ponder on as we all watch this video. We are very good lawyers for our own mistakes, and very good judges for the mistakes of others. Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone. Dont judge people because they sin differently from you. That's all.

[@tumelolobakeng6069]

Lebo and Gaopalelwe were so transparent and honest. I was brought to tears hearing Lebo’s story. No girl or woman should ever have to through that. I love that Gaopalelwe said abortion is not a moral issue, it’s a medical issue. Information is there now, thanks to technology. Safe places like Marie Stopes. I wish something could be done about these illegal establishments💔

Thank you to the ladies who shared their stories with us. It takes a lot of courage to share a story around abortion. It's so traumatic and to anyone who sees this. It is your body and your choice. Do what is right for you. No one has any right to impose any beliefs or their views on you.

[@annwanjiku5923]

Very true

[@bridgetmgaga1095]

Let's not judge we are not God and we all sinned one way or another..no sin is better than the other... thanks beautiful ladies for sharing your story sure it will help alot of woman out there

[@nothandomyeni4449]

However one of the 7 deadly sins that God hates is the shedding of innocent blood

[@yande_z]

Its hard, what simply is the truth feels like judgement to you because the truth hurts really. It's not always judgement, sometimes it's people that honestly care and love you telling you the truth, but we are humans we will always pick what we want and from the truth someone gives us we choose to pick judgement and not truth, Love has lost value, it should lie to protect your feelings instead if helping you to realise your mistake and heal. We all have sinned, the more reason we have to be our brothers keeper and be truthful as we help them walk to their healing and ours else we are harming them more...

[@mantelekhitsane3490]

Now my daughter is 19yrs always talk to her hore please talk to me with everything be open to me cz I always have flashbacks of that child in the bucket nd mother helpless on the floor, thank you ladies for sharing ur stories I'm going to give my daughter a chance to listen too.

[@tebogomaupa_]

You are honestly a great mom. ❤️❤️❤️

[@lebohangm7252]

Wow I hope you shared that story with her. My 19 year old self would be very grateful if my mom not only told me to be open but shared her experiences to backup her statements cause as children we are very curious we want to know why we shouldn’t, we want to try things out.

[@lumkayamkelamadikazi4636]

My take from this is that let people have safe abortions. Pregnancy on its own is a risk. So why not allow someone who wants an abortion the freedom to do so safely?

[@mohauwamorena]

Rele, can't get tired of giving praise to your hosting skills, but gift... You are amazing ❤️

[@Keekeembhele]

At the rate that the youth is having sex and unprotected at it, is really scary. The number of unwanted pregnancies and later abused children is also something so scary. I had my legal abortion at a South African Hospital, I was cleaned and given counseling the morning after I spent the night in excruciating pain only to find out I am still pregnant. My baby is a beautiful and healthy 8 year old now...I guess it was not meant to be. I wish information about this was correctly shared and a follow up process was easier.

[@Gao_Phala]

Wow, reading such stories gives me so much hope. Thank you for sharing your turth. I see you, I am with you

[@nomsazwane3505]

Not to sound so insensitive babe and im sorry if i sound like i am but did you bleed whilst they kept you in the hospital??

Tbh whether we like it or not , Abortion will happen . If we keep judging people for doing legal abortions , that will just persuade them to have illegal ones. Easy as that.

Lord help us. I think as women we get soo messed up when we find out we are pregnant. We dont give our selves time to think. Fear take hold of us. And at the end we suffer the consiquenses. Having a baby is not that bad. God always provides. But we panic I dont know why.

[@sizakelediya4080]

I just think it is very important to be have open communication with your kids and be open minded. It 2021 now it's not 80 or 90 for safety and protection of life let be open minded about abortion. I might not want or see myself in that situation but maybe one day your love one might be in the same situation you can be help that person to save her life. Even if your 16 yrs old is pregnant and want to keep the child let support as mother. First let start educating our kids even about abortion because when they are faced with these situations they talk to their friends than their mothers. Let be open minded South Africa. I don't have kids but one thing I learned through growing up I would have loved to be informed about things I went through as a woman e.g periods, body changing, that's when is it okay for me to date, what to expect and even when I have a committed what to do prevent so many decease and given support to use contraceptive and even knowing about infertility that I'm going through right now instead of going through all by myself. We need to change mind-set so that we can be better mothers. What you wish you talk with your mother but you can't because you know you will judge don't do it in your child life. Let stop instilling fear to innocent kids, yeeey having periods is not a curse , let just open our minds so you don't bury your child because your stigma.

[@matlhogonolobusang9323]

It doesnt matter what any of us thinks is right. What matters is what God says is right which is y we should consult him when we r scared or not sure what to do. Do not be wise in your own eyes fear God and shun evil. You r not ur own, u have been bought with the precious blood of Jesus so glorify God with ur body. Let us stop advocating for abortions and start advocating for truth. Children r blessings from God.where we r not sure lets get on our knees and give it time and the Lord will let us know.

Unfortunately women don't choose how many times they get raped in their lifetime.

[@fulufhelanitshivhasa216]

To a certain extend I agree , even with rape there are measures you can take to protect yourself to avoid more tragedies. It’s a matter of being informed, and we can not blame our families for not informing us enough about such issues . I feel like you should make it your responsibility to educate yourself on certain matters . One thing I can advice ladies is to not be naive , you had sex ? Take a pregnancy test . Whether there are signs or not .You got raped? Reach out and get assistance, there are people who are more than willing to assist you without judging you . Just be informed.

[@Thoughtsbyme-ts4jz]

But rape?

[@TapiTTwala]

Unless you are going to Marie stopes clinic. Most girls attempts to get an abortion is very traumatic.

[@jeanmmanga]

I know this is an unpopular opinion but why would a woman keep getting pregnant (not from rape) yet she's not ready for children? And you keep going for abortions? Why not use contraceptives until ready to have one? First time was understandable, but the following 2 times? Nah!!
