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
In 2017, Lumiere Charity wrote of the Culture of Life Africa's video focusing on Marie Stopes International's Operations in Africa; Alleged News. [2]
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]

PARLIAMENT LAUNCH FOR NEW FILM REGARDING UK FUNDING OF ABORTION INDUSTRY IN AFRICA; ALLEGED NEWS


THE PREMIERE OF THE HARROWING FILM 'STRINGS ATTACHED'  WAS RECENTLY HOSTED AT THE HOUSE OF COMMONS BY THE SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF UNBORN CHILDREN: ALLEGED NEWS. [1] The premier was sponsored by Labour MP Mary Glindon, Alleged News. The film shows how UK overseas aid is being utilised to fund a booming abortion industry in Africa: Alleged News. [1]


Documentary

The ground-breaking documentary has been made in Nigeria by President Ekeocha of Culture of Life Africa. It follows what happens to the millions of pounds of foreign aid given by Western donors, and the UK Government in particular, to sexual and reproductive health and rights [SRHR] in Africa, Alleged News. [1]

To watch the Documentary 'Strings Attached'

Interviews
The documentary features interviews with women who have had their lives devastated by abortion and contraceptive devices by organisations such as Marie Stopes; Alleged News.
President Ekeocha said, "This feature-length documentary presents the African side of the story of enthusiastic western donors and the impact on the African recipients of their 'gifts'. We expose how western funding to abortion-providers like Marie Stopes International (MSI) is undermining traditional African values which respect human life, 
No-one ever bothers to follow the trail of the funding to know where, and how it ends up, or to know how the individual lives of African women in cities and villages alike are affected by it," Alleged News. [1]
"At the center of this story is a British reproductive health organisation and a regular recipient of UK government funding, whose practices in some of the African countries have devastated the lives of many African women and girls, everything from life-altering side effects of donor-provided free contrraceptives to alleged illegal abortion practices," President Ekeocha continued: Alleged News. [1]
"The film amplifies the African voices that have never been heard before, with the hope that the world will finally listen to them, hear their experiences, share in their sorrows and take action to end this form of neo-colonialism that is destroying lives in Africa under the guise of sexual and reproductive health and rights," Alleged News. [1]


Marie Stopes International

The documentary also explores Marie Stopes International (MSI) in the UK: Alleged News. [1] It further highlights the 2016 Care Quality Commission report: Alleged News. [1] 
The UK government gave 44 million pounds in 2017, and recently pledged another 200 million pounds for family planning in Africa and Asia; Alleged News. [1]


Marie Stopes Abortion Clinics

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 willed 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]



SPUC

SPUC campaign director Antonia Tully said, "We should be asking serious questions about why more than £1 billion has been earmarked  by the UK government for the support and promotion of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in countries like Africa. Abortion is not a solution to poverty.
"Since 2017 the UK government has been committed to donating £225 million every year to developing countries until 2022 for reproductive health services - which includes contraception and abortions. The human costs are catastrophic," Alleged News. [1] 


Contraceptive Methods and Dangers

Contraceptive methods and dangers are discussed in 'Value-Based Sexual Expression' on pages 25, 26, 32 to 35.


Safe Contraceptive Options for Women

For women who are concerned for their reproductive health, safe and natural contraceptive options for Women are discussed in the book 'Value-Based Sexual Expression'. These include the 'Billings Ovulation Method' [see pages 25 to 30],  Ovulation Home Test [pages 30 to 32].

SAINT PAUL VI CANONISED - PROPHET OF THE SANCTITY OF UNBORN LIFE


TODAY IN ROME SAINT PAUL VI WAS RECOGNIZED AS A GREAT SAINT. The canonization ceremony was attended by thousands. 
Earlier this year the Congregation for the Causes of Saints approved the second miracle needed for the canonization of then Pope Blessed Paul VI.
The second miracle - (an extraordinary and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore attributed to intercession to Divine Agency) - is the healing of an unborn child in the fifth month of pregnancy. The case was brought forward in 2014 for study.

The mother, originally from Verona Italy, suffered an illness which risked her own life and the life of her unborn child. She was advised by doctors to have an abortion. 
A few days after the beatification of Pope Paul VI, the mother went to pray for his intercession on her and her child's behalf, to God. She prayed at the Shrine of Holy Mary of Grace in Brescia, Italy. Her baby daughter was later born in good health, and continues in good health. The healing was ruled as medically inexplicable.(1)


Saint of the Unborn Child
The first miracle attributed to the intercession of Saint Paul VI took place during the 1990's in California. A then-unborn child was discovered to have a serious health problem which posed a high risk of brain damage. Physicians advised that the child be aborted, but the mother entrusted her pregnancy to Saint Paul VI.
The child was born without problems, and continues in good health. He is considered completely healed. [1]

Pope Paul VI
Pope Paul VI was born Giovanni Montini in 1897 in the town of Concesio in the Lombardy region of Italy. He was ordained a priest at the age of 22, served as Archbishop of Milan before his election as pope in 1963. [1] Pope Paul VI was elevated to the papacy after the demise of Saint John XXIII. 
Vatican Council II was automatically interrupted and suspended upon the death of Saint John XXIII, the pope who convened it. Saint Paul VI immediately announced that Vatican Council II would continue. Saint Paul VI's opening address on 29 September 1963 stressed the pastoral nature of the council, and set out four purposes for it:
- to define more fully the nature of the Church and the role of the       bishop
- to renew the Church
- to restore unity among Christians
- to start a dialogue with the contemporary world. [2]

After years of ministry which saw the encyclical Humanae Vitae [3] prophesy the moral laws which govern the transmission of life, Pope Paul VI passed away in 1978. 

Saint of the Prolife Movement
Saint Paul VI has long been hailed as the Saint of the Prolife movement. It is only just and fitting that this holy prophet today received the highest honor this world has to offer - unequivocal recognition of his legacy in perpetuity.
