    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it would be very unfortunate to include clauses 2, 3 and 4 knowing very well that they have introduced an extreme controversy in Constitution making. We want a phrase broad enough to include all Kenyans, but a clause that gives the opportunity and chance for lawmaking to deal with the issues that concern us in articles 2, 3 and 4. This Constitution promotes and defends Kenyans to believe in various religions. We know that clauses 2, 3 and 4 are very controversial among various religious beliefs. Rather than try and leave them in and, therefore, jeopardize the passing of this Draft Constitution, I would ask the House to err on the side of caution and leave these clauses out. It will give us a broad enough general provision that gives all Kenyans a right to life. That in no way legalizes abortion. If anything, it is a pro-life phrase because it gives all Kenyans a right to life."
