I know this is very controversial esp. because i am of the Faith.BUT I think we have heard a lot about abortion( esp. because of Katiba) to last us a lifetime. It is pretentious to bury our heads in the sand and pretend that we do not have a problem. Even in more developed countries, there are pro- life and pro- choice groups.

However pro- life groups in these more developed countries are not religious entities, so when they talk about right to life, they move the discussion forward by seeking to address the root cause of the problem.-Why do women seek abortion. Most of these women will say they just cannot afford to raise a child. So the question begs, why then didn’t they use protection ?

How about giving the masses some real solutions?

Improve adoption laws
Promote both abstinence and protection/condoms

But in the church, we talk of abstinence as the only way- it is a charade. I am probably voicing my own frustrations as a Christian, knowing the real solutions cannot and do NOT come in shouting No to abortions- may be there is a different way of doing things?

No woman will find out they are pregnant n run to have an abortion because it is 'legal'.

No woman will now strut to a hospital oozing confidence to procure an abortion because it is 'legal'.

No woman today who needed to have a pregnancy terminated failed to do so because it was 'illegal'. Sad thing is some lose their lives in the process.

Tafakari hayo.

@ kenyabeef,yes a woman would seek abortion if readily available,but you missed the point of this thread altogether.......

"Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus or embryo, resulting in or caused by its death."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion

Cruso..notice how they say "expulsion from the uterus of a fetus or embryo"

@ cruso ,So using a condom is tantamount to abortion? retrogressive nikitafakari !!!
