Nigerian military conducted secret, forced abortions on 10,000 women in fight against Boko Haram: report
Fox News
The Nigerian military conducted at least 10,000 secret and often forced abortions on women who were suspected of being impregnated by Boko Haram militants.
One civilian health care worker described the program as "sanitizing the society" as women, largely without their consent, were given pills and injections to force abortions after being kidnaped and often raped by members of Boko Haram. Caitlin McFall is a Reporter at Fox News Digital covering Politics, U.S. and World news.
Four soldiers described for the publication how they were told by their superiors that the abortions were necessary to "destroy insurgent fighters before they could be born."
