    "content": "Some families are breaking up because of those mood swings. Our women are just taking those pills because they have been advised by a woman in the neighbourhood that, that is what she takes and that is why she is not giving birth. Those contraceptives are not even helping because we still continue to raise our population. I would want to advise our Kenyan women that if they have those pills in their bags and they are not prescribed, they should throw them into the toilet. You can even get those babies. Who said babies are bad? We are courting a situation whereby our women are dying slowly because we are not courageous enough to refuse some of these western style family planning methods. Even the reasons that our women are given are not even convincing. We are also refusing to give information on reproductive health and to advise that you can really plan your family without necessarily taking those pills. I think we are at a situation whereby even as we pass this Health Bill, we need to give a lot of information to our citizens. For instance, we need to look at reproductive health in our schools. The Bill that is coming to the House on reproductive health also has issues. I am saying that without anticipating debate. However, we cannot allow our children to have access to contraceptives because, in the first instance, we do not have enough practitioners who will give those prescriptions. Secondly, our African culture does not allow that."
