You can't entirely blame her. Govt institutions have failed her.Elsewhere, the hospitals/clinics where she delivered those kids would have taken note of this, and after the 4th or 5th delivery blocked her womb.It is still not late Social Welfare have to take over this case.The Ministry of Gender and Children also have to get involved.A civilised and developed country is where we have policies to take control of their citizens, who have fallen off the plans of the nation.

@judischrislam, she was just too fertile, or too stupid to seek help to stop getting pregnant when the number (of children) was increasing too rapidly. Some people just take decisions, or make certain lifestyle choices without thinking of future consequences. It is clear that when this woman is in bed with a man, the joy of the moment is all she cares about - damn any future repercussions! How can an adult be this stupid and childish!

Uneducated and ignorant. You dont know that in such extreme cases, the laws can be used to take such decisions. Years ago, my brother and his team who were by then working in the health sector in the USA met a 35 year old Mexican with 14 children. The woman came to their facility to have her 15th child,they asked her of the man who impregnated her and shd claimed she did not know. She was trying to deceive them bcoz she knew she had violated the law,they quickly handed her to the security agencies. Upon investigation they found out 2 men fathered those kids.They were arrested and given compulsory bisectomy with the woman's womb blocked. Ghana also has those laws and can be implemented.

First of all i could not find the word "BISECTOMY" in the dictionary, "VASECTOMY" is the word, so that says a lot about your story. Government does not have the right, and no Doctor will use force to perform any "procedure" without the advise and prior approval of the patient. Laws are derived from the contitution and the contitution does not give such powers to the Gvt. So, therefore, you are a liar. You sound so "stuck on stupid" defending the indefensible.

@ THAT'S ILLEGAL. So you want to say that without the law you can't use your common sense to avert difficulties in life? Of course, Social Welfare or even the hospital where she has been having these babies, should independently take the decision to stem or sterilize her from further having more children - with or without her permission. When you are ill and you go to the hospital, does the doctor need your permission to give you the necessary drugs to cure your ailment? I really doubt the authenticity of the entire story but if so, why should this human incubator continue to be allowed to have more children than she cannot possibly take care of? As a low income coco seller, didn't she have the same financial problems after her second or even her first child? She must be a nymphomaniac with a fertile womb who can't hold back from having sex - and that being the case, why should the public be burdened with her problems? Your proposed solution of adoption will actually create further difficulties in the psychological make-up of the children.

You are rather the illiterate and ignorant one. Persons are considered reasonable people with agency, unless proven otherwise in a court of competent jurisdiction. No reasonable civilsed country will forcibily restrict any woman on the number of pregnancies, you can only advice.

Therapeutic interventions may be court mandated for severely mentally disabled individuals to prevent future pregnancies, but that is even done under court recommendation in civilised countries.

BTW, to educate your illiteracy and ignorance, there is a married woman in the UK who currently has 22 biological children and counting, and the state has not imposed any restriction on her, because her agency matters.

As a woman, doesn't she know about family planning or must seek advice after the third child? Its her own stupidity. There's a woman living in a kiosk I know, at the age of 32, already having five children. We advised her against it. Her answer was "I don't know which of them would become wealthy in the future to take care of me." You see the mentality of such individuals!!! This same woman is not working, only occasionally washes people clothes in the area. The husband too, is a professional drunkard, having no idea of how his wife and children survive. So it's the life style of some women. So, they must reap what they so!

Nickolas Abeam Danso of Ghana link and Nick petroleum's father, had 100 kids. Among whom Abeam, is the 99th, imagine if the man had decided to stop at 98. Abeam is today one of the richest men in this country, employing thousands of Ghanaians. Ironic huh? All am saying is that if you're not bold enough to do it and someone has, don't criticize too much cos you never know what some of those kids might become tomorrow. Contribute if you can or shut the up, for some of us who want to see the children succeed do our bit. Stingy men and women!

Illiteracy in Ghana is so prevalent that many people struggle to understand how to protect themselves during sex and avoid unwanted pregnancies. Instead, their focus tends to be solely on sexual enhancement. She was fully aware of her circumstances, yet she chose to engage with an irresponsible partner. Now that he is no longer around, how will she take care of the children? This highlights the importance of serious sex education. However, in my Ghana, the common belief is that one should continue having children because "God will take care of you." This mindset is simply misguided and it's absolutely nonsense. Face the music because you were happy screaming and raising your legs when they were going up and down on you.

My niece has vowed to have 10 children, and she has 9 already. What amazes me is that she has never called me for help. I hear she works very hard to maintain the children.
What I see in Ghana is that many people have more children than they can adequately take care of. Why?
If you ask them they will tell you God will take care of them. I don't get it. Is it illiteracy, poverty or what????
Seriously I don't have sympathy for self inflected suffering.

Oh Madam, why give birth to 20 children in a country where families don't get support from the Government unlike in the European countries.

I mean you can't give birth to 20 children, when you know you have less income and then beg for support. Oh Ghana what is happening? Even in richer countries people give birth to a maximum of 4 children. We can avoid some hardships by reducing the number of children we want to have or protecting one's self with condoms to avoid having so many children. lets give birth to the number of children we can feed and lets stop begging then everyone has their own hardships in their families.
