    "content": "Most obliged. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you say termination of pregnancy is not permitted but expectant mothers are entitled to emergency medical treatment in life threatening conditions, that is a very dangerous statement. This is because it does not tell you in whose opinion the life becomes threatened. Therefore, the amendment the Minister was making was actually opening the door for even quacks to form the opinion that life is threatened. Now that the Attorney-General has created this window of opportunity we will come back. When we will do the relevant legislation, we will close the windows for quacks, pretenders, mortuary attendants and laboratory technologists who normally pretend that they are trained medical professionals. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe that the church which would have shot down this document, now that the word, “abortion” has been completely removed by the Attorney-General’s amendment, will find it very acceptable. Finally, the women who feel that their children or themselves will have their lives at stake and to marry with Mrs. Ngilu’s fear that doctors will be indecisive; doctors will face emergencies knowing that there exists secondary legislation that protects them. I support."
