ANY hospital in Anambra State that engages in procuring abortion will be closed down and the doctor involved stood the risk of losing his license, the state commissioner for health, Dr. Amobi Ilika has warned.
Dr Amobi Ilika deserves to be congratulated for upholding the right to life of the unborn. This right is protected by the UN Declaration of Human Rights, which upholds the right to life of all members of the "human family." The Convention on the Rights of the Child also protects the unborn, saying that children need legal safeguards "before as well as after birth". Despite these international agreements, many western governments and NGOs work to promote and fund abortion in less developed countries. This is to the great shame of my country (UK) and many others. Africa, teach us how to be truly rich and generous in welcoming new life.
