Emotive debate threatens review process

The Anglican Church is now set to hold a series of meetings with mps to push for the removal of the abortion clause in the harmonised draft. The church has vehemently protested against what they say is an attempt to legalise abortion. But as NTVs Brenda Mulinya reports, the abortion dilemma has been a thorny issue in Kenya and promises to be a long time to come.

This is why I believe the healthcare thing is important. These young girls that get pregnant without thinking have no where else to turn.

I understand its a touchy subject.

I wish they would stop.

Patdisel.

Got your message. Very happy to see that you care. I was actually being spiteful after hearing that they were not doing anything to stop this, so, I ran to a pro life site like this and distributed the contact information for abortion in WA. I was just trying to put thier info out there cause I was pissed off. I really feel sore about the emotions those mother lack to have thier baby sucked out.

Its sad, and out of my hands. I hope you keep fighting for the children in the womb.

Good point. but the problem is that the church takes hard line positions that are non negotiable. If they pass law defining life and banning abortion, rape victims like that 8 year old from Brazil will suffer. That is why these guys should not meddle in the constitution. Too many vested interests. We are writing a new constitution bcoz Kenyatta and cronies wrote a document with their own selfish interest. If we are not careful we may re-write another one in a few years to come.

I don't think the church should be totally intolerant of abortion especially when it involves aforementioned cases rape or life endangerment. But if a woman mutualy agrees to have consentual sex with a man and gets pregnant she should not be allowed to discard the fetus as easily as going to the toilet to take a shit.

The churches job is to prevent the devils way's from infiltrating society under the guise of constitutional rights. Devils advocates will keep on defending the wrongs of society by having them ratified or repealed in the constitution. It is up to the church to protect the people from diabolic actions permeating within society.

The POPE has refused to accept the use of condoms, birth control pills by his church. That is ignorance. I don't agree with abortion the only thing I'm against is the church meddling with the constitution that is why religion and state should be separate.

about 8 months ago an 8 year old kid was raped and impregnated by her step father in brazil. Brazil being catholic protested because the doctor gave that child an abortion for health reasons. They church did not care that she was RAPED!!! they were only concerned with her not having a baby. Lets say she was raped at 30 and could have a baby and such a law on abortion existed are we going to force her to have a baby with the same man banging her mother? ie having your father's child?
