Holy See Side Event-Best Practice for Maternal Health Care in Africa.


L to R :Uju Ekeocha , Archbishop Auza, Dr. Robert Walley & Maria Madise

The Holy See held a side event yesterday at the UN along with Real Women of Canada , Campaign Life Coalition & SPUC.  There was a very good turn out in Conf. room 1 , as you can see from the above photo. The Nuncio introduced , and chaired the event , very well. Dr Wally spoke very movingly about his work in Kenya providing life saving treatment to women having babies. Then Uju gave an excellent presentation on why African women reject abortion. Maria Madise spoke on how there is NO right to abortion in UN documents.

There was a very small group of pro-aborts in the room led by Ms Mette Gjerskov from Denmark. She was very upset by Uju's comment on the developed nations trying to impose a new colonialism on Africa by trying to push legalized abortion upon them. The vast majority of African nations and there women reject abortion and treasure their children.
