@nonfor1....what is the measure for "a logical argument"? Maybe that is what I and @willin2learn are missing!! And probably many more others.

Well, as it ever occurred to you that your argument could actually be "the most illogical" to "us" and hence the problem??

the Clergy has done its part, it has alerted you of potential dangers in the draft.
Article 26(4) of the new draft now says: "Abortion is not permitted unless, in the opinion of a trained <health professional>, there is need for emergency treatment, or the life or <health> of the mother is in danger, or <if permitted by any other written law>."
Am I the only person who is seeing this? <health professional>= is too wide a net from nurses, clinical officers,doctors, gynas, surgeons ; <health> is defined by the WHO to which we are a signatory to as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" as .
<if permitted by any other written law>= ....what is this?
P.S. remember making a change to the above will require a referendum...its in the bill of rights.
the argument that parliament cannot change the course of the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Act, 2008 is flawed since they can...they are parliament.
for Kadhis courts those of you who are to naive to know that it was limited to the 10 mile strip of the coast of kenya. but now for 'administrative' purposes it has been extended to the whole of kenya.
Kwanza...Were the people consulted when the Sultan of Zanzibar and those other British fellows decided about this matter?

and hey on the reasons people abort are social...why are we looking to fix social problems medically?

Everybody knows why Moi is saying 'NO'.....'GRABBED LAND' period

Moi and all the like who acquired huge chunks of land, ripped this country off, know that with the new consititution things will not go there way, let us all support this document and put all of them to shame, they have made poor kenyans poorer

Fundaah, Njung'e, in the draft ABORTION IS PERMITTED! Who are you fooling?

Please see what Masukuma quoted FROM THE DRAFT:
"Abortion is not permitted unless, in the opinion of a trained health professional, there is need for emergency treatment, or the life or health of the mother is in danger, or if permitted by any other written law."

The problem the church has is not with the GENERAL statement that abortion is not permitted but with the EXCEPTIONS that are quite broad as to amount to a watering down of the general statement and rendering it irrelevant.
