“The frequency is higher than what was obtainable in times past. The effects can make a woman childless for life.”
He urged girls to desist from premarital sex to avoid series of abortion because of the effects.
“Female children should avoid inserting abortion tools into their private parts; this can lead to hard labour as well as maternal and infant mortality,” he said.
