This is a very sensitive issue for discussion and therefore Mr. Director, please present your message very clearly. Termination of pregnancy is medically induced based on live threatening medical conditions.

The mothers instinct indeed! What about the right of the baby to live? Obviously that is not important.

Tinkorang and Asemany-Mensah are so stupid they could not tell us the cut-off time in their briefs.Does it mean abortion is legal up to 38/40 weeks of pregnancy or what?

What has a woman's right to discuss her medical issues with a doctor go to do with a tribe? Are there no Ewe women requiring such services?

If you have a problem with any tribe, why don't you argue for federalism in Ghana? Or better still, you can advocate for a break-up of Ghana into two or more separate states.

For poverty reduction sake.
The poor rather hv more kids
What an irony.
Birth regulation can reduce poverty by 30% within 4 yrs

The Health Director has twisted and skewed the proper interpretation of the abortion law. If a "woman thinks" isn't the same as " a medically identifiable danger of pregnancy". Such kinds of interpretations aren't charitable.

The almighty God created humans as a living soul, and that soul begins in conception through blood relationship between man and woman, as regards to scripture prove from (Leviticus 17:14a) I doubt your credibility as a health director, if you are aborting an born child where do you think the child soul development is ?, please be careful with your recommendation, that's an encouragement to murder.

Just read this "He said female adults, who consented to abortion, is permitted by law to do so upon assessment by a qualified medical doctor that, the pregnancy would affect her health physically, psychologically and mentally.

1. The doctor must medically determine
2. Even if the doctor determines, the woman must consent.

Therefore if a woman on her violation goes to the hospital for abortion and it is carried out, it is illegal and the doctor can be arrested. There are procedures to determine whether the pregnancy will affect the woman or the baby not. This will require several steps. Blanketting that abortion is legal is wrong doctor. The laws do not work in Ghana so you can do your abortions and go scot free.

Ghana!, Ghana!!, Ghana!!! How can you called for safe abortion? Which part of abortion is safe and unsafe? Killing your own baby is your human right? Are we killing them because they don't have mouth to speak or what? God, pls help us to find out the truth of life. Knowing the truth can lead us to join our MARKER forever and ever.

For your info, Ghanaian's are calling for safe abortion because they believe that, the practice of unsafe abortion is leading to countless of death and injuries every day and month, leaving many other women infertile. So what? Have you also think about your moral life? Have you seen abortion before and would you allow your wife or your sister to go through this painful and sinful act?

Is my prayer that, God touches each of you reading this to support by donating to support our vision to end abortion in Ghana and entire Africa now to enable us to have every materials on board, Amen

It's not new to me. I got to know the legitimacy of abortion since 2011. But mind you, all things are permissible, but not all are expedient to us.
God's ways are different from man's thought

We are told in Prov. 6 : 16 that " there are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to Him " One of those things are " Hands that shed innocent blood ". Prov. 6 : 17c and " feet that are quick to rush into evil". Prov. 6 : 18b, Finally Numbers 35 : 33 warns " Do not pollute the land where you are. Bloodshed pollutes the land ". Psalm 139 : 14 celebrates the fact that each person is fearfully and wonderfully made " Abortion disregards this statement. Life is a gift, it's precious. God richly bless you all. Hoping we can pray and support to end abortion one time, Amen.
