NTV news anchor Victoria Rubadiri has opened up on how she wanted to secure an abortion after falling pregnant at age 18. Victoria opened up in interviews carried by both Nairobi News and True Love magazines.
According to the decorated anchor, falling pregnant left her desperate to a point where procuring an abortion looked like her only way out. In her interview with True Love, Victoria Rubadiri shared the emotional whirlwind she suffered during her pregnancy especially that she had not intended to get pregnant.
Victoria fell pregnant while studying journalism at Temple University in the United States where her family was living.
In the interview, she reveals how she resolved to procure an abortion because it was the only solution she had in mind at the time.
“I felt I had no choice but to terminate the pregnancy,” she stated. In a separate interview with Nairobi News, Vicky said she chose to share her story in the magazine to further her ambition of reaching out to more affected youths.
“I have been severally invited to speak in churches and institutions where I always share my story to encourage a young person whose life has taken an unexpected turn,” said Vicky.
She added that the decision to open up was aimed at being able to reach out to more young people. “It was a scary experience to find out I was pregnant, and the hardest part was to let my parents know since I never wanted them to go through that,” she told Nairobi News.
When she confessed, the news presenter’s father ruled out the abortion and her entire family helped her through it. “I told my father I needed to get some money I had saved up in the bank but on our way there, he made me open up and tell him what I was going through.” Victoria Rubadiri’s daughter is now ten years old.
