Our Open Letter to the Lawmakers (Parliament)on post abortion
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Speaker of the Provincial Legislature ( Mme Ntombi Mekgwe) responded to us via WhatsApp, acknowledging the letter sent to her via email and WhatsApp.She responded saying the matter shall be forwarded to the relevant Committee for deliberation.
In the letter, we highlighted the following,among other issues which are as a results of termination of pregnancy/ abortion, be it is done legally or back door:
a) It's a stigma ( most of the time, the termination/ abortion is not even registered on the medical record and it becomes an untold story even to her children to be aware that mom or grand mother had made this choice, no matter the circumstance).
b) Termination of Life is one of the cause for miscarriages, child borne but die at an early age when mommy decides to have a child. ( Some even forgotten that they had abortion).
c) Some of the unexplained sicknesses or deseases to a child borne after termination, some are the results of the "Choice to terminate/ abort Life".
d) Suicidal or premature death from generation to generation, mostly related to someone in the bloodline be it now or parents or grand parents, might have terminated pregancy, now Spirit of death keeps visiting the bloodline.
e) Difficulty to conceive when a person is ready to conceive and bring to life a child. Some families, every women on those families including grandchildren struggles to conceive, most of the time is as the results of someone along the blood line terminated pregancy
f) Struggles to live a quality life- This is also evident and to everyone's conciouse but some don't realize because no one takes termination of pregnancy as illegal or sin, "yet all acts are spiritual" and there will be consequences as long that spirit of that aborted child is attached in you,the invisible cloud is walking with the person.This is also revealed when a person goes for Counselling to a person who is gifted to see and hear spiritual messages.etc.
So, we are doing this campaign as an awareness campaign and also seeks to touch women for support and inviting individuals who had gone through termination of pregancy/ abortion to know that they are not alone, self-forgiveness and bringing the matter to the "Oneness" who created life for forgiveness and restoration.
