Pro-Abortion Propaganda Aimed at Destroying Ethiopian Culture
Posted by addisethiopia / አዲስ ኢትዮጵያ on November 20, 2012
Psalm 127:3
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward
John 8:44
You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies
As of 2005, abortion is legal in Ethiopia for so many exceptions that it is, practically speaking, abortion on demand — rape, incest, fetal defects (eugenics), the physical or mental health of the mother, economic reasons and reasons of age of the mother. According to the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, an incredible 60,000 women still suffer serious abortion complications every year, and at least 100 of them die. It seems that the population control groups are satisfied merely with legalizing abortion and are not particularly interested in safeguarding the health of Ethiopian women.
“Family planning” billboards are everywhere. The most obnoxious are World Vision’s, which show a starving and unhappy family of seven people, all looking desperate and dressed in rags, gathered around a small table with just a scrap of food on it. People see this blatantly direct propaganda 100 times and begin to believe its almost subliminal message.
Sensations (“Make Your Life Sensational!”) condom ads and billboards are also everywhere in Addis Ababa. One Muslim-operated pharmacy had a life-sized condom poster right inside its door. Amusingly, someone had wrapped a towel around the head of the rather immodestly dressed young lady featured on the poster as a makeshift hajab. This struck me as rather schizophrenic; go ahead and corrupt the women’s sexuality, but make darn sure their heads are covered. DKT International sponsors annual fashion shows in Addis featuring models wearing dresses made entirely out of condoms. All of this is so wildly out of sync with African customs and culture, we can only conclude that these groups are deliberately and consciously attempting to destroy not only African culture and innocence, but the Africans themselves.
I visited a couple of pharmacies, and found that DKT International heavily subsidizes its “Choice” birth control pills, selling them for about 62 cents per cycle. Pharmacists sell them right over the counter with no consultation with a doctor – a practice that would not be tolerated even for a minute in Europe or the USA. USAID and Bayer Pharma have teamed up to sell the “Microgynon” birth control pill for the same price. DKT also sells the “Confidence” abortifacient injection for about 31 cents for three months of sterility, and these are administered by the pharmacist right behind the counter.
Then, of course, there is the most aggressively evil organization on Earth, Marie Stopes International, (btw. Zambia recently banned this organization for conducting illegal abortions) which makes International Planned Parenthood Federation look like a bunch of blushing virgins. There are a dozen Marie Stopes abortion mills in Addis Ababa, and each is a gigantic abortion factory doing over ten thousand every year.
Abortion still carries a huge stigma in Ethiopia, so the women almost always arrive alone. Unlike in the USA, the men usually standing outside the abortion mills are not husbands or boyfriends; they are pimps. They prey on the women going through the emotional and spiritual assault of abortion, accosting them when they exit the clinic. As a result, prostitution is flourishing in Addis Ababa.
Most obnoxious of all are the touts that Marie Stopes hires to accost women passing by, asking them if they are in need of abortions. These hawkers even tell men that, if their wives or daughters ever need abortion, they can come visit their abortion mill.
Remember that these are the people – Western progressives – who say that we must all respect the customs and cultures of other lands.
The headlong rush of the United Nations and all of the pro-abortion NGOs seems to be directed at “homogenizing” the world so that the people of every nation will think and act just like Europeans or Americans. I have seen this baleful influence hard at work in countries from the Philippines to Papua New Guinea, from Cameroon to Cambodia.
What ever happened to the vaunted “respect for diversity?” Liberals tell us that we must respect “diversity” in terms of bizarre sexual acts and orientations, but what about respect for different cultures?
Unique and colorful cultures and customs all over the world are fast disappearing as everyone — from city dweller to villager, from professional to small farmer — is being forced to conform to the same mold. Even the most benign indigenous practices and customs are being forcibly propelled to extinction. Not only is this becoming a very anti-life world, it is becoming boring as well.
Report Proves Planned Parenthood Targets Blacks, Hispanics
A new reported issued by the pro-life group Life Dynamics proves that Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry in the United States target black and Hispanic Americans by placing abortion facilities in communities with high minority populations.
Titled, “Racial Targeting and Population Control,” the new report validates the claims pro-life advocates have made for years — and that Life Dynamics made in its groundbreaking Maafa21 video released two years ago — showing that abortion advocates have purposefully placed abortion centers in urban areas with high percentages of black and Hispanic residents.
African Women Sue Government Clinics For Coerced Sterilizations
My note: If they dare to coerce their own minority population this way imagine the degree of havoc they can wreak on defenseless African women? Read here
A group of Kenyan women have filed suit against government health-care clinics in 5 different countries, charging that they were sterilized against their will.
The plaintiffs are all HIV-positive. Some testify that they were told sterilization was mandatory, or threatened that their AIDS medicines would be withdrawn if they refused to undergo the operation. Others say they signed a consent form that they did not understand, either because they are illiterate or because they were drugged at the time.
The women filed their suits in Zambia, South Africa, Malawi, Namibia, and Kenya. Their legal challenge comes in the wake of a report that coerced sterilizations have become routine in public hospitals in Africa.

The good news is that the abortion issue is no longer an issue. 6 scientific laws show that abortion actually saves life and pro life actions cause death. It is a fact that until the DNA of the genotype expresses the correct phenotype one cannot tell if the product of conception is alive or human. This of course means that life at conception cannot be proved and that the foundation of the pro life movement is without merit.
Further, pro lifers have a choice, they may save born life or they may let it die and attempt to save fetuses that they cannot prove are alive or human.
For these reasons the issue of abortion is clearly resolved in the favor of life as supported by pro choice rules. Pro choice rules lead to more living humans and pro life rules lead to the death of born humans. http://www.naturalabortionlaws.com

Marie Stopes have recently opened a clinic in Belfast, where abortion is still illegal: they claim that they will work “within the law”. If this is how they operate in Ethiopia, there seems to be little chance that they will do so. This lawlessness is not restricted to Africa! The Morning-After Pill is also available over the counter in Wales – and not a single politician apparently giving two hoots about it! Maternal health is apparently, say the pro-aborts, improved by killing off a woman’s baby before birth. Yet Ireland (which doesn’t have legal abortion yet, North or South) is probably one of the safest places on the planet to give birth.
A mouse conceptus is described scientifically as a mouse: why does the mammal Homo sapiens apparently obey different criteria. If a human conceptus is not human, what is it? The picture of aborted babies in a bag arouses the question from a young child,”What are those babies doing there?”, not “What are those potential human foetuses doing there?” – with recognisable heads, arms, legs, and so on – but if you try to display a picture of such a merely “potential” human being on a street corner, some pro-abort will call the cops and try to get you arrested. What is there about a photo of a “potential human being” produced by the “humane” practice of foeticide that makes abortion supporters so very angry? Surely they should be displaying such pictures themselves, with pride: “Look how well we have saved lives by removing these potential foetuses!” To me, the active promotion of anti-birth policies by the West looks very much like a re-run of the arguments for the Atlantic Slave Trade in the 18th century – with similar results in genocidal population loss and twisted and warped racist philosophies. To my mind, there can never be an excessive number of Ethiopians, or any other variety of African brother or sister either! And on a personal note, how dare Marie Stopes deprive me of potential customers for my little publications!.
