Bridget Warao, from Nairobi, Kenya, writes: “Come to think of it, what abortion does to most of females is one of the most cruel things in life. A woman opts for abortion for one of several reasons: for fear of losing a partner, inability to face social wrath or the fear of her parents finding out. An abortion may happen as a result of an unwanted pregnancy and various other things. It is a painful situation for the female since the foetus has to be expelled from the body before the first three months of pregnancy.
