Kenya: Women Rights Groups’ Fury at Abortion Clause

More than 300,000 women in Kenya produce abortions every year. It is the women’s right to decide on whether or not to carry on a pregnancy. The Catholic Church strongly opposes abortion. The life of a person begins at conception according to the harmonized draft constitution. A doctor is the only person authorized to terminate a pregnancy. More than 2,000 maternal deaths are caused by abortion-related complications. “Prohibiting abortion will not stop women from procuring them, but we should be allowed to intervene in medical emergencies,” said Dr. Nyunya. A young girl should not be forced to carry a pregnancy that will haunt her for the rest of her life. At least 30 percent of conceptions end up abortions and miscarriages.
I think that it is insane about how many people in Kenya get an abortion every year. No one can control miscarriages but we can prevent abortion. I strongly agree with the Catholic Church about abortion. This makes me feel that some people do not care about other lives. I also agree with the harmonized draft constitution that the life of a person begins at conception. Young girls should be able to get an abortion because they are young and they have their whole life ahead of them, so a child is not what they need in their life at such a young age. People in Kenya need to think before they get an abortion.
