Post Menopausal Women got nothing to talk about abortion.We want to hear it from young fertile Woman.

With women like Mugo speaking for the ordinary woman, the weaker sex should be very afraid. The only consensus, according to me, is to delete the entire section from the constitution. Abortion is a personal issue and should neither be outlawed nor sanctioned by the constitution. Moreover, who cares when life begins. If Christians believe that life begins at conception.. well good for them but let them NOT impose this belief on the non believers like me. OK!!!!

How about some serious investigative journalism on the hypocrisy of these so called church leaders on this issue! Kenyans gave their views on this which the Kitonga & Co duly put in the draft! No backdoor dealings pliz! On this issue they harp on whilst maintaining a suspicious silence on more pertinent issues eg. child molestation within their midst, perpetuating partriachy, undemocratic practice within their institutions etc. It's time to break the dogmatic control of these bafoons on folk!

Did the consensus also involve the Religious leaders? We know they are the ones disputing the former clause.@tritac, try Somalia being a neighbor, they may take you.
