I am talking about Marie Stopes.
Today I was stuck in the jam and heard them advertise abortion services over radio. ABORTION SERVICES.
Now, as you all know I think Kenya, and Africa, are fast getting ‘over-populated’. What’s more, I really am ambiguous as to whether abortion is right or wrong. I have never had a vagina or womb to think about the issue too deeply.
What I however know is that the Katiba expressly outlaws what are called ‘elective abortions’ - abortions by choice. It only allows abortions where the life or health of the mother is in danger, which admittedly is a very, very wide window.
Enter Marie Stopes, a British NGO. They are now openly advertising for clients to visit them for abortions. They are collecting money out there ostensibly to help poor Kenyans - in your name - to come and perform abortions here.
Now let’s pause for a bit. Would a Kenyan NGO be allowed to conduct FGM in Britain? Wacha that, HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO GET A BRITISH VISA just to visit? Yaani they don’t even allow you to visit their country, but they can come here and set up shop to disobey our laws just like that?
Do we even know what they are doing with the thousands of aborted foetuses? Harvesting stem cells and other samples so they can know how to kill us more efficiently in the next round of an ‘outbreak’ like HIV?
I have gone to their website and seen them brag that they have 22 clinics around Kenya and tens more mobile clinics. They say openly that they are pro-choice.
Again, I don’t care whether abortion is right or not, BUT A FOREIGN ORGANISATION SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO COME UP SET SHOP HERE TO DISRESPECT OUR LAWS.
Just because we are Black and poor does not mean that we are the asshole of the world who should take all the shit dished to us.
