    "content": " The amendment is a simple one. I propose to amend the proposed amendment by putting a full stop after Article 26, and then deleting the rest of the words. As moved by Mrs. Mugo, you go up to “subject to the deletion of Clause 4 of Article 26.” You delete the rest of the words. The effect of that would be to delete Article 26(4) from the main draft. You can safely delete that because under sub-paragraph 3, we have used the words “other written law”. That “other written law” will take care of situations where a person can be deprived of his life. That person, who can be deprived of his life, includes the time that person was conceived. I am proposing this to facilitate the people’s representatives in addressing serious issues that have been raised outside this House. The objection outside this House has been the one of abortion appearing in the Draft Constitution; part of it has also been on the issue of conception. By deleting subsection (4) you have removed not only the word “abortion” but also all the contradictory text; you have removed it completely. You have given the opportunity to the Legislature to, under sub-paragraph (3), legislate more exhaustively on the subject. I so move."
