It's all good to have faith in God but a good look at statistics will show you the reality of the matter. Having kids too early or having too many kids keeps people in the cycle of poverty. Yes, they should use birth control or abstein but sometimes shit happens.

Kenyan Constitution
Chapter 4
Bill of Rights

26(1) Every person has a right to life.
(2) The life of a person begins at conception.
(4) Abortion is not permitted.

After a lot of arguing by doctors, lawyers, teachers, abortion practitioners and survivors, this is what Kenyan's agreed at bomas and beyond (no need to re-discuss/re-argue your already discussed views) . If you cannot avoid abortion because your spiritual (non-spiritual) reasoning does not allow you to, then understand that we have to be together as Kenyans on this, we chose and "The Kenyan View" is abortion is wrong. At least you will think twice before you spread your/someones legs, pump your stupid asses up and down then "accidentally" get pregnant go to abort ati, just think kidogo before that as a Kenyan. And teach the youth this (the truth), we will be a much better people for it.

Of course an abortion should not be considered as the first or only option of birth control. Same goes for morning after pills. If it is known than this group of people is not using contraception what's being done about it? What went wrong? Since I'm huku kwa kina @kiash I might be missing something coz I also hear people don't worry much about AIDS since ARVs work well.

And when shit happens you kill the baby? You know in a civilized society, punishment by death is left to the very notorious criminals. In fact, most societies have realized killing them is very inhuman and has changed it to life imprisonment. So punishing a child by death because shit happened is the most crude thing a human being can ever think of doing. Further, may I remind you that most abortions are not even procured by the poor. They are done by the able ones, the same who don't want a child to disrupt their career path, they don't want to be caught red-handed by their spouses now that they were having affairs outside marriage...and such other excuses. As they say, choices have consequences. You chose to get a baby, let the baby live.

By the way, if babies were killed on the basis of poverty, there millions of successful people today who are changing lives positively and even taking part in eliminating poverty who could not be alive today. Maybe even a good number of Wazuans wouldnt be alive. CEO Equity wouldn't have survived. If I got his book right, Steve Jobs too then would have been a victim. And million others.

@Peter, I used street kids as an example, didn't you read that?

Abortion doesn't bring forth a kid into suffering. Whether the person procuring abortion becomes a murderer,that's their business. They are grown-ups to some extent.

People get kids and those kids go hungry,with some dying. Where are you getting the notion that once you get a kid they can never go hungry.

Burying heads in murky sands and just groping on some ill faith/hope won't solve the suffering.

Deliberate action needs to be taken by grown folks. All the living kids should be taken good care and i try doing my part helping other people's kids, but the yet-to-be born should not be thrown in the mill just for the heck of having kids.

Lastly, could be the "poor" are not complaining because they are always asking the able, "na sasa usipotusaidia unatwambia tufanye nini?"
