    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support the proposed amendment for one or two reasons. One, the doctors have clearly told us that abortion is not a method of treatment. Two, we have statistics from the US that when they tampered with this kind of an amendment, the number of abortions in that country went up by about 1,500 percent. It is true we have had people who argue that you cannot carry a pregnancy out of a rape. I think in the event of a rape, we do not need to murder the child. We should punish the father instead of murdering the child. Finally, it is related to what hon. Ngugi has said, the Christians have had a lot to say about this issue. It is important to allay those fears. We need to have as many people on board as possible. Unfortunately, we do not have even the numbers in this House. It is important that we are seen to be sensitive to what others are saying because they also have a stake in this Constitution. I beg to support."
