Abortion not the answer to unwanted babies

The National Council of Churches in Samoa says abortion is not the answer to the problem of unwanted pregnancies. The comment, from the chairman, Reverend Oka Fau’olo, follows a call for the legalisation of abortion. According to him, abortion is taking a life and cannot be condoned. “In a case of those who were raped I think there are other ways God can provide to look after the unwanted, if you can use that word, it’s not a nice word to use, but God can raise some loving hand and loving heart to look after the unwanted baby if it’s the result of a rape case but rather than just taking it away, I’m not for it.” Radio New Zealand International
