Interview: Obama Admin Responsible for Legal Abortion in Kenya
In a new video interview, Father Raphael Wanjohi, the director of Human Life International Kenya, a pro-life organization, says the effect of the new Constitution the nation adopted is that legalized abortion has expanded quickly. Wanjohi says the Obama administration — and Obama himself — is responsible for the adoption of the Constitution that resulted in allowing two abortion businesses to expand their reach into Kenya.HLI distributed the new video today and below is a transcript of the interview:
Q: How has life in Kenya changed since the new constitution was approved one year ago?
Fr. Wanjohi: Yeah, there was this new, a referendum, a new constitution which had to be approved. And the Catholic Church, and most other churches were not in favor of it because of some sections that were to be rectified or to be adjusted or to be rephrased before the constitution. But we worked harder to see that, and especially this one, was very much on abortion. Then, it started very well, “abortion is not legal.” But somehow, along the line came, It’s not legal except when the health of the mother is in danger. Then wanted to know, “what does that ‘health’ mean?” Because health does not mean death. Health may mean one is having headache, or one is having really stomachache. One feels the weight is going on. So that needed, in theory to be really clear because the Church has felt that the sanctity of life is very, very important. But, we had a lot of money from America, more than twenty-three million dollars, which were really poured in to make sure that that constitution—has to pass through that referendum.
Q: Did the referendum make abortion legal in Kenya?
Fr. Wanjohi: One can say, okay, formally it is not legalized, but when you look at the constitution itself, it is legalized. It is legal. Because a woman can just go and say, “I don’t want really this baby because it’s affecting my health.” And that’s, that’s automatically now. Abortion is legal in Kenya.
Q: What does this mean for the Kenyan People?
Fr. Wanjohi: It’s a sad story. It’s a bad day for them because it means now we have seen the mushrooming of Marie Stopes now, where they were not there before. Now they are there in small towns carrying on with the abortion of the girls – high school girls, whatever they are because they say it’s affecting my health. It’s going to affect my education. What’s really to do? So now nobody can really chide them now. Doctors, the abortionists, have the free hand to carry on with the abortion.

Controversial New Mexico abortion billboard to remain: judge ...
Alamogordo, NM, August 1, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A local judge in New Mexico has ruled in favor of a man’s right to keep displaying a billboard with a controversial message against abortion.
New Mexico District Judge James Waylon Counts has ruled that Greg Fultz can keep his billboard along a town thoroughfare for now, the Associated Press reported last week. Counts has called for a full hearing after the man appealed an earlier decision that he immediately take down the billboard.
In May, Fultz put up a billboard that shows him holding the outline of an infant. The text reads, “This Would Have Been A Picture Of My 2-Month-Old Baby If The Mother Had Decided To Not KILL Our Child!”
Fultz’s contract with the billboard company will expire August 15.
The woman implicated in the billboard has taken Fultz to court for harassment and violation of privacy. In late June, Fultz was ordered to remove the sign as part of an order of protection against the woman. A previous Domestic Violence court commissioner also stated that the billboard must be taken down.
Fultz’s attorney Todd Holmes cites the recent Supreme Court decision in favor of the Westboro Baptist Church, notorious for its anti-gay rallies and protesting at military funerals. The court ruled that the activities are protected by the First Amendment’s right to free speech.
Right to Life New Mexico, whose logo appears on the billboard, originally endorsed the effort. However, they pulled their endorsement when they discovered that Fultz was unsure whether his ex-girlfriend had an abortion or miscarriage.
In an interview with LifeSiteNews, the Right to Life Committee of New Mexico’s State President Betty Eichenseer noted that the billboard has garnered national attention.
“We received inquiries from MSN, Fox News, and Reuters,” she said.
But Eichenseer contradicted Fultz’s claim that the billboard simply supports father’s rights in an abortion decision. Instead, she said, the billboard is a statement about “a relationship between two particular people, rather than a statement about men and abortion.”
Fultz claims his ex-girlfriend was pregnant with his child during their six-month relationship last year. He admits that when the relationship ended, the baby was lost, but he doesn’t know how it happened.
