Luke 2:1-20 

The Birth of Jesus

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to their own town to register.
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
    and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

AFRICA: KENYA BANS MARIE STOPES INTERNATIONAL FROM OFFERING ABORTION SERVICES; ALLEGED NEWS



AFRICA: MARIE STOPES INTERNATIONAL HAS BEEN BANNED FROM OFFERING ABORTION SERVICES IN KENYA, AND HAS BEEN REPRIMANDED FOR BREAKING THE REPUBLIC'S LAWS; ALLEGED NEWS. [1] The declaration came from the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board (KMPDB), after a public outcry over the fact that Marie Stopes Kenya's advertisements promoted abortion, which is largely illegal in the country; Alleged News. [1]

Inquiry
A Special Preliminary Inquiry Committee was convened by the KMPDB after attention was drawn to the fact that Marie Stopes had adverts running on various radio stations, despite a ban on all abortion advertising by the Kenya Film Classification Boards, Alleged News. [1]

Petition
The complainant in the case is Ms Ann Kioko of CitizenGo Africa, which ran a petition calling on the Health Secretary to investigate the adverts and ban Marie Stopes from operating in Kenya: Alleged News. [1] Evidence of adverts promoting abortion on radio, newspapers and social media was given, and Ms Kioko said she had personally called Marie Stopes' switchboard and been told she could have an abortion for 5 000 Kenyan shillings; Alleged News. [1]

Marie Stopes
A woman testified she was given an abortion at a Marie Stopes clinic in Nairobi 22 years ago, and said that the abortion had led to "profound psychological and spiritual effects" that she battled with for years; Alleged News. [1]
An obstetrician reminded the committee that the constitution of Kenya recognizes the right to life, and that life begins at conception. 
Dr Ngare also said that the World Health Organisation gives no definition of "safe abortion " that Marie Stopes claims to provide, not least because abortion is never safe for the unborn child and the women who suffer psychological truama; Alleged News. [1]

Chairman of Marie Stopes Kenya
The Chairman of Marie Stopes Kenya admitted running adverts promoting "safe abortion" and said they did not halt them as they had not received the letter from the Kenya Film Classification Board instructing them to do so; Alleged News. [1]
This statement was contradicted by a Kenya Film Classification Board representative, who affirmed the Country Director of Marie Stopes Kenya had acknowledged receipt of their letter: Alleged News. [1]

Marie Stopes to cease and desist
The KMPDM ruled that Marie Stopes had breached advertising rules in and was in violation of the prohibition against propagating "deceitful, erroneous or misleading information"; Alleged News. They also noted with concern that the advertising campaign had as target youths between 14 and 25 years old: Alleged News. [1]
The Board ordered that Marie Stopes Kenya immediately cease and desist offering any form of abortion services in all its facilities within the Republic of Kenya, Alleged News. [1]

Culture of Life Africa

The video 'Killing Africa' presented by Ms Obianuju Ekeocha included an interview with a former worker of a Marie Stopes International [MSI] abortion clinic in Uganda, who claimed that illegal abortions were carried out by medical assistants [not doctors] and that foetal remains were flushed down the toilet; Alleged News. [2]
The video highlighted how the funding given to Marie Stopes international was being spent, Alleged News. [2]
According to Culture of Life Africa, MSI performed 3.3 million abortions and abortion related services every year, Alleged News. [2]

MSI queried by Care Quality Commissions
In the UK, Marie Stopes Internationl was queried by the Care Quality Commissions after inspectors found a catalogue of practices in English clinics, Alleged News. [2]
The 2,600 safety flaws at Marie Stopes abortion clinics included the following in the Care Quality Commission report, Alleged News. [2]
- Doctors were going home for the day leaving sedated women in the hands of nurses and healthcare assistants; almost half of nurses had not been trained to do resuscitation, Alleged News [2]
- Some vulnerable women did not understand the full consequences of what they were about to do, Alleged News [2]
- Safety incidents including medical blunders and equipment failures had increased by a third in a year; Alleged News [2]
- Doctors were signing off up to 60 consent forms at a time when they were meant to be making a thorough assessment; One filled in up to 26 in two minutes; Alleged News [2]
- Foetal remains were dumped in ordinary medical waste bins rather than sealed for cremation, Alleged News [2]
The CQC was particularly concerned about safety and lack of training, warning patients were not protected from avoidable harm, Alleged News. [2]
