Abortion should not be legalized in Kenya. It is not safe for the mother and the baby in the womb. Abortion has both long time side effects and short time destructive effects. The drugs used to perform surgical abortion may have effects that are devastating to the victim. The effects may be infertility, it can as well result to cancer and subsequent lose of children. Several researchers in USA, Australia and other developed countries have shown that people do not understand that there are adverse physical complications from abortion every year. Abortion have immediate consequences like the damages to a woman's reproductive organs and her future ability to have children. Some are like the Post-Abortion Syndrome which is long lasting and destructive. A five year study shows that 25% of women who have had abortions seek out psychiatric cares.Report on abortion committee on the operation of abortion law,Ottawa,1977 p.321.
If abortion is legalized in Kenya cases where women will have effects of abortion such as future miscarriages, prematurity, abortion related causes of death, physical damages to internal organs, infertility, later ectopic pregnancy and interrupted breast and pregnancy development will be numerous. The Kenyan economy can not provide enough sustainable for such cases owing to the recent increase in the number of births per year and the number of women that become expectant.
Legalization of abortion apart from it having effects on the person that aborts, will result to moral decadence where the youths will just engage in unprotected sexual activities in the hope of aborting in case the girl becomes pregnant. This will indirectly lead to increased spread of diseases such as HIV/AIDS, sexual transmitted infections and other disease. The overall effect will thwart the stagnating Kenyan economy.
