First off, abortion hurts women. Reams of evidence attest to this fact. Babe Ndlangamandla should visit www.afterabortion.org and read what he finds there. Women suffer physical, mental, social, and spiritual harm from abortion.
Second, human life begins at conception, when egg meets sperm. That is a scientific fact. Abortion, therefore, kills a human being. Legalized abortion means a nation has decided it is ok to kill some individuals because they are unwanted. In Babe Ndlangamandla's case, he suggests legalizing the killing of unwanted preborn children because they become OVCs and then financial burdens. This is killing for money, which is the job of an assassin. Surely it is unSwazi to behave as an assassin, to kill for money.
The answer is support for women with unintended pregnancies, and not subjecting them to the trauma of abortion in order to kill children. May Swaziland continue to display the best of African hospitality and generosity by supporting women and children through unplanned pregnancies. May the kingdom choose life instead of death. No to abortion, yes to life.
