CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANISATIONS? Misleading Header

Since when has one civil society organisation become “organisations”?

The scare mongering from the author (and publishers) of this piece is quite misleading in making it seem like a lot of or a number of CSO’s have combined to oppose birth control, which is obviously incorrect, the writer has only referred to and named only one organisation, so-called Project for Human Development (PHD) which is just the one organisation giving an opinion, its own opinion which is not necessarily the dominant opinion in any case.

The dominant opinion is for information be made available as well as the choice whether or not to use contraception and whether or not to abort be made open to the individual to decide rather the overbearing and paternalistic attitude displayed by the author and the publishers (Guardian newspaper).

Contraception and abortion just like everything else in life is always going to have its pros and cons which should be made clear to all and left for each person to decide whether or not to have each or any of it. It should be about choice. Not about some high fallutin government official(dom) or pretentious CSO (or whatever) of dubious origins and intentions muddying up the water and in the process narrowing the possibilities open to Nigerians.
