Welcome to my blog!
The focus of this blog is to spread awareness on the clause on abortion in the newly proposed draft constitution of Kenya, and the views of many people reguaring this clause. The question of abortion being leagalised has been a topic of debate for many years, worldwide, for many people have various opinions regaurding this topic.
In Part 2- Rights and fundamental freedoms, in the section of ‘right to life’, in clause number four of the proposed constitution, it is stated that “Abortion is not permitted unless, in the opinion of a trained health professional, there is need for emergency treatment, or the life or the health of the mother is on danger, or if permitted by any other written law.” Therefore, Abortions are illegal in Kenya under current law, but hundreds of thousands of women still seek them each year. The existing law, however, does allow a doctor to perform an abortion if a woman’s life is in danger.
What do YOU think about this?
