Janet Mbugua has spoken out on choice, faith, and public debate, saying people can hold more than one truth at the same time.
In a detailed statement on Sunday, December 14, 2025, she said society needs to stop pretending that life is either this or that. According to her, people are allowed to stand in the middle and still be honest.
She said, “You know, we really need to stop pretending life is either-or.” She explained that holding two views does not mean confusion, adding, “Duality is not confusion. It is courage.”
Janet said people can care deeply about children while still supporting a woman’s right to choose.
She stated, “You can love children and still defend choice.” She explained that loving children means valuing them, protecting them, and being intentional about their well-being, but that does not remove a woman’s right to decide what happens to her body. She said a woman’s decision to have or not have a pregnancy is personal and should be respected.
“It is her body, it is her private life, it is her future,” she said.
Standing in the ‘and’
She explained that pregnancy and life after birth come with real challenges. She said these challenges include emotional, physical, and financial strain, and that these realities must be acknowledged.
“Pregnancy and what comes after have a true, valid, emotional, physical, and financial toll,” she said.
She added that understanding these realities is part of supporting choice. Janet said clearly that it is possible to “love children, value them, and still be pro-choice.”
Janet also spoke about faith and global suffering, saying belief should not silence people in the face of pain. She said a person can be religious and still speak out against violence.
“You can hold faith close and still call a genocide what it is,” she said. She explained that human suffering should never be ignored, especially when children are involved. “Human suffering, children suffering, hospitals being bombed, parents not knowing where their families are,” she said, describing the reality in Gaza.
She added that faith should guide people toward compassion, prayer, and honesty, not silence.
“Faith should actually root you in prayer and talking to God,” she said.
