Raila and Kibaki differ over clause in draft

http://www.ntv.co.ke
Even before debate on the draft constitution commences in parliament Prime Minister Raila Odinga and president Mwai Kibaki seem to be taking different positions on the now controversial issue of abortion. While president Kibaki has assured church leaders that any clause in the draft that would allow abortion will be rejected, the prime minister yesterday asked churches to back down on the issue. Church leaders have threatened to campaign against the draft if the clause is not removed .

what's this obsession with church leaders trying to choose for women. Women must have a choice made after consulting with their pastors and their doctors. No one is pro-abortion..this is called pro-choice. Let common sense pre-vail not your religious views.

Until the end of the eighteenth week of the pregnancy the choice of an abortion is entirely up to the woman, for any reason whatsoever. After the 18th and until the 22nd week a woman needs a permission from the doctor to have an abortion. Permission for these late abortions is usually granted for cases in which the fetus or mother are unhealthy.

Any politician backing this travesty is a fool.

[Rameny100]

some body is busy using catholics to scuttle the review process and Kenyans should be up in arms to reject any such attempt
