Ukukhipha isisu eMelika: Kuzokwenzekani uma kuvalwa?

I-Scoop

Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa nje, konke kushintshile. NgoJanuwari ka-2017, uDonald Trump wabekwa esikhundleni njengoMongameli wase-United States of America. Yize ebambe isikhashana nje, usezenzile ngezenzo athembise ukuthi uzozenza uma esesikhundleni. Izinhlelo zokuqalisa ukuxhasa udonga oluhlongozwayo phakathi kweMelika neMexico seziqalile, kanye nerejista yamaSulumane. Futhi, ngokufanayo, uxhaso lokuhushula isisu lunqanyuliwe.

Nakuba ukuhushula isisu kusesemthethweni ngokobuchwepheshe e-US, kuningi ukuqagela okwenziwayo uma kungagcina kunqanyuliwe. Nazi izinto ezinhlanu ezikhathaza umphakathi we-pro-choice okufanele ukhiphe isisu.

1. Izikhungo zokunakekelwa kwezempilo ezincane zabesifazane zizoba khona

Lesi akusona isizathu abantu abacabanga ngaso ngokushesha, njengoba i-Planned Parenthood ivame ukuhlotshaniswa nokukhishwa kwezisu ngokushesha. I-Planned Parenthood ivame ukuhlaselwa ngabasekeli bakaTrump ngenxa yalesi sigcwagcwa, futhi uMongameli uTrump ngokwakhe ubevame ukusongela inkonzo ngesikhathi somkhankaso wakhe wokuba ngumongameli. Noma kunjalo, ingumthombo ohamba phambili wezinsizakalo zokunakekelwa kwezempilo nolwazi eMelika. Ngokwewebhusayithi ye-Planned Parenthood, “abesifazane nabesilisa abayizigidi ezingu-2.5 e-United States minyaka yonke bavakashela izikhungo zezempilo ezingaphansi kwe-Planned Parenthood ukuze bathole izinsizakalo zokunakekelwa kwezempilo ezithenjwayo nolwazi. I-Planned Parenthood inikeza izivivinyo ze-Pap ezingaphezu ku-270,000 kanye nezivivinyo zamabele ezingaphezu ku-360,000 ngonyaka owodwa, amasevisi abalulekile ekutholeni umdlavuza. I-Planned Parenthood ihlinzeka ngokuhlola nokwelashwa okungaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-4.2 zezifo ezithathelwana ngocansi, okuhlanganisa nokuhlolwa kwe-HIV okungaphezu kuka-650,000.”

Amaphesenti amathathu kuphela azo zonke izikhungo ze-Planned Parenthood ezihlinzeka ngokuhushula isisu. Uma Ubuzali Obuhleliwe buwela, ngenxa nje yokunikeza inketho yokuhushula isisu, okungaphezu kokukhipha isisu kuyolahleka.

2. Ukukhipha isisu kwakuzohamba ngomshoshaphansi

Ake sicace lapha: ngenxa yokuthi ukhetho lokukhipha isisu ngokusemthethweni ngeke lusatholakala akusho ukuthi ukukhipha isisu kuzoqedwa ngokuphelele! Kusho nje ukuthi abesifazane abaningi bazofuna izindlela ezingaphephile neziyingozi zokukhipha isisu. Ngokuvumelana ne I-Daily Kos, e-El Salvador, izwe lapho ukukhishwa kwezisu kuvinjelwe, u-11% wabesifazane abaphishekela ukukhipha izisu ngokungaphephile bafa. E-United States, owesifazane oyedwa kwabangu-1 200,000 ubulawa ukukhishwa kwezisu; Bangu-50,000 abafa ngonyaka. Futhi leso sibalo sithonywa inketho yokukhipha isisu okusemthethweni! Uma ukukhishwa kwezisu kufanele kuvalwe, iphesenti (ngeshwa) lilindeleke ukuba linyuke ngamandla ngabaqageli.

3. Izinga lokufa kwezinsana nabesifazane lizokhuphuka

Njengoba kuphawulwe isibikezelo esishiwo ngaphambili, lesi sibikezelo asithintwa nje ukwanda kokukhishwa kwezisu okungaphephile. Ngokuvumelana ne I-Daily Kos, e-El Salvador, u-57% wokufa phakathi nokukhulelwa kubangelwa ukuzibulala. Lokho, kanye neqiniso lokuthi abesifazane abangakwazi ukukhipha izisu okusemthethweni ngokuvamile abazimisele ukufuna usizo lwezokwelapha ngesikhathi bekhulelwe.

Ucwaningo lubonisa nokuthi abesifazane abangakwazi ukukhipha isisu bavame ukuhlala ebudlelwaneni obuhlukumezayo, ngaleyo ndlela bazifake bona kanye nezingane zabo odlameni lwasekhaya. Kuthiwa owesifazane oyedwa kwabayisithupha uyisisulu sokuhlukunyezwa ngesikhathi ekhulelwe, kanti ukubulawa kuyimbangela ehamba phambili yokufa kwabesifazane abakhulelwe.

4. Ukukhulelwa kwentsha kuzokwanda kakhulu

Lona uyazikhulumela, akunjalo?

E-El Salvador, iminyaka yobudala yabesifazane abafuna ukukhipha izisu iphakathi kweminyaka eyi-10 neyi-19—bonke bangabantu abasha cishe bonke. I-United States of America ilandela inkambiso efanayo—abesifazane abafuna ukukhipha izisu ngokuvamile bayizintombi ezineminyaka engaphansi, futhi ngokuvamile bakwenzelwa ngasese. Ngoba akukhuthazwa nje ukusetshenziswa kabi kokuvimbela inzalo; iningi lalaba besifazane abasebasha abafuna ukuhushula izisu bayizisulu zokudlwengulwa nokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi.

Nokho, ukube ukukhipha isisu bekungaseyona inketho, omama abeve eshumini nambili abayanda ngokwengeziwe bebeyobonakala emphakathini waseMelika (labo abanquma ukungenzi umshoshaphansi, okungukuthi), ngaleyo ndlela beqhosha nangalolo bandlululo olubi.

5. Abesifazane bazobhekwa kakhulu

EMelika, lolu songo alubonakali ngokushesha. Kodwa-ke, landela izitayela ezahlukene ezivela emhlabeni wonke futhi umuntu uzosheshe abambe leli qiniso elishaqisayo.

Uma kwenzeka kutholakala ukuthi ukukhipha isisu kuphambene nomthetho, owesifazane otholakala ekhiphe isisu ngokungemthetho uzobhekana necala lokubulala, okuyigama elithi “infanticide”. Imiphumela eMelika ayicaci kahle; nokho, ngokusho The American Prospect, e-El Salvador, abesifazane abatholakala benecala lokukhipha izisu babhekene neminyaka emibili kuya kweyisishiyagalombili ejele. Abasebenzi bezokwelapha, kanye nanoma ibaphi abanye abangaphandle abatholakala besiza ngokukhipha isisu bangabhekana neminyaka emibili kuya kweyishumi nambili ejele.

Ithemba lokubhekana nesijeziso esinjalo lilodwa liyethusa, kodwa iqiniso lezo zijeziso lidabukisa.

Angakanani amathuba okuba leli qiniso?

Ukuze lokhu okwedlulele kwenzeke, isinqumo ngecala lasenkantolo Roe v. Wade kwakuzodingeka lichithwe, njengoba leli cala lasenkantolo labeka isisekelo sokwenza kube semthethweni ukukhipha isisu kwasekuqaleni. Engxoxweni no I-Business Insider, u-Stephanie Toti, ummeli oholayo ecaleni le-Whole Woman's Health kanye nommeli omkhulu eSikhungweni Samalungelo Okuzala, uthe uyangabaza ukuthi icala lasenkantolo “lisengozini esheshayo”, njengoba iningi lezakhamizi zaseMelika lizikhethele. Njengoba ikhishwe ngu I-Business Insider, Ucwaningo lwe-Pew Research lubonisa ukuthi u-59% wabantu abadala baseMelika bayakweseka ukuhushulwa kwezisu okusemthethweni ngokujwayelekile kanti u-69% weNkantolo Ephakeme ufisa ukukusekela. Roe-lezi zinombolo zitholwe zanda ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.

Kwakuzokwenzekani uma uRoe egumbuqelwa?

I-Business Insider usho lokhu ngale ndaba: “Impendulo emfushane: Amalungelo okukhipha isisu ayoba ezandleni zezifundazwe.”
Okungeyona into embi impela, ngokwesibonelo. Yiqiniso, abesifazane abafuna ukuphishekela ukukhipha isisu bayoba nesikhathi esinzima kakhulu (ngokomthetho, okungenani) kodwa ngeke kwenzeke. Njengoba kubikwe ngu I-Business Insider, izifunda eziyishumi nantathu zibhale imithetho evimbela ngokuphelele ukukhishwa kwezisu, ngakho umkhuba awukwazanga ukwenziwa kulezo zindawo. Futhi noma kuboniswa ukuthi ezinye izifundazwe eziningi zingaphasisa imithetho yokuqalisa ukulandela, izifundazwe eziningi zinenketho esemthethweni futhi etholakala kalula. Njengoba nje uTrump asho kunhlolokhono yakhe yokuqala kamongameli, (njengoba ehoxiswe ngu- I-Business Insider), abesifazane ezifundazweni ezisekela ukuphila “kuzodingeka baye kwesinye isimo” ukuze kwenziwe inqubo.
