As I had said before, the gist of this matter is to ensure that this issue of having high maternal and infant mortality rate to be a thing of the past. Kenya is at a stage where we are reviewing laws. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), Vision 2030 and maternal and infant healthcare is very paramount. All over the world, the reproductive healthcare is an issue which has to be determined. Why are we losing lives? There are many reasons: One of them is the so-called unsafe abortion. This is a major killer for women and young girls. Unless we handle this, we cannot succeed. We must have this law, passed and implemented to the letter to ensure that these women; young and old, within the reproductive age, who happen to find themselves in this ugly situation are saved. This Bill, having consulted widely, starts with the words “termination of pregnancy on demand is not permitted unless as provided under this Act.”"
