 hashtag my body my choice. At what point would the things we stigmatize today become acceptable tomorrow? I read comments on Instagram about the recent U.S. protests on my body my choice hashtag rally for abortion justice. I saw how people marched in solidarity to protect abortion rights and show their support for reproductive health and rights for women in New London Connecticut. This was because of the abortion ban that was recently passed in Texas as most people saw it as a threat to the rights of women across the country and across the world. Several people in the U.S. and the most part of the world believe that if women's reproductive rights or people's rights to express their sexuality are threatened in one part of the world that means they are also threatened everywhere. You will recall that during the 2016 presidential campaign Hillary Clinton repeatedly spoke out in support of the rights of women to have abortions. Abortion remained a contentious issue in that election in the U.S. U.S. election 2016 with 56 percent of Americans supporting its legalization in most cases and only 41 percent in opposition. Now a school of thoughts believes that as women they shouldn't have to debate whether they have the right to choose what they do with their bodies and that none must interfere with their personal choices for what's best for themselves. Now have you heard that in a recent in a Superman comics edition John Kent the new Superman the son of Clark Kent and Louis Lane is bisexual and is in a relationship with a guy? At what point do we say enough is enough? Unlike to me Arai or me clearly stated this is not an LGBTQ agenda this is an agenda for our children and for this one my single simple question is what is our media content parallel response? So if the things we stigmatized yesterday are now becoming acceptable today at what point would the things we stigmatize today become acceptable tomorrow? If we embrace the concept of hashtag my body my choice in the context of fighting to defend women's rights to abortion then why are we raising eyebrows to other similar interest groups springing up like those who say that being a gay or being gay is a function of nature and not natural. Over the years and with legislation lobbying and pushing their goals they argued that if the civil rights movement showed it was wrong to discriminate against people based on their color or the color of their skin then it was wrong to discriminate based on nature's choice on how they were programmed to love it is on this ground that some people now claim that being a pedophile or even practicing bestiality are ways they are programmed to love so do we support the rights of the women to say it is her body and her choice on one hand and turn a blind eye to what the rights of our children are do we argue in support of the lady on one hand and turn a blind eye on the right of the fitters on the other therefore if the things we stigmatized yesterday are now becoming acceptable today at what point would the things we stigmatize today become acceptable tomorrow? Peter you're about to open the can of worms and we don't have time for it but you know I just shared something that I heard you know one of the most profound things I've heard about all these two days ago some guy was speaking and he said that you know he has no issues with adults you know choosing who they want to love or who they don't want to love choosing who they want to procreate with or be you know adults you're an adult make your choices what he has a problem with is when you now take this to his children right and that's where I have a problem that's why I draw the line as well because I'm not telling your children to live a certain way they're your children so don't come and tell my children what to believe what is right what is wrong who to love who don't don't bring it to my children because they're children they don't yet have the faculty and the agency to make the right decisions that's why they're children that's why they're called minors legally right so as far as you're an adult choose whatever you want I'm not anti anything right I'm just anti common sense whatever it's common sense to you but where you draw the line is where you now bring your beliefs your biases your prejudices and start to feed it to my children that don't have that agency and faculty to decide what is wrong from this right and then start to feed them these things from that young age and then you start to reprogram my children that's where there's a problem so that's that's really just my own you know opinion to this well I see you're asking what is the battle to by area we do respect to the way things are in the world now the world is very complex now there are things we've overlooked before there are things we call taboo and some patients are trying to accept it but let's have it let's draw the line we Africans or we Nigerians or we whatever we are we should decide what we want for our safe you don't accept what every other person is seeing that this is their definition of life and therefore you must be copy and paste of course we should be careful about what our children feed from social media when they grow when you teach them the right values they will understand life on their own and make decisions good decisions for themselves absolutely you know that's what we call the concept of greater good right if my decision how big makes me happy but on the greater good makes a lot of people hurts a lot of people disorient a lot of people then I must go back to change that decision it's very really very important and I think the hashtag my body my body and my choice can also be likened to the whole do you I can be doing me and driving and drinking champagne and I cause an accident I was doing me but you know I've created a bad greater good so let's think about all right it's my place um yes that concept is called due to interlarism the greatest good for the greatest number of people for me I just want to preach against extremism that's my own point against extremism on any level if you have a position that is contrary to mine please respect it I'm going to respect your position and we're going to live amicably as much as possible let us not you know take down everything that we see around us we should be able to see from what is what is popular and what is um what you know in each person's case they think is right or is wrong so whatever works for you and let it work for you you don't have to come out and be so insensitive to other people's position but I'm not going to say don't be who you are I'm just going to say let us be careful of extremism thank you very much Ejmai um and like Tolu said it's a clarion call let's invest in people who have positive content because we have to build a parallel narrative um we've not come to the end of the weeks um episode on the advocate however the advocate continues on our social media platforms on facebook um plus tv africa hashtag the advocate ng and instagram at plus tv africa the advocate ng we'll catch up with previous um episodes go to plus tv africa dot com forward slash the advocate ng don't forget to subscribe to our youtube channel plus tv africa till next week same time on this station let's keep advocating for a better society
