Don’t Abort Pregnancies Of B’haram’s Rape Victims – Bishops by Jboyossai(m): 12:03am On May 26, 2015
The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria has condemned suggestions by some stakeholders in the country, who have advocated that the pregnancy of some Boko Haram female victims, conceived through rape, should be terminated.
The organisation however promised that when delivered, it would assist in the upbringing of the children through “support mechanisms” and “crisis pregnancy management centers.”
Chairman of the Health Committee of CBCN and Auxiliary Bishop of Abuja (Catholic Archdiocese), Most Rev. Anselm Umoren, stated these during a press conference on Monday in Abuja.
He queried how Nigeria would accept to visit such innocent children “with capital punishment” in the name of abortion for an offence they did not commit simply because their fathers were misguided religious and ideological bigots.
The cleric said, “Specifically, it is not tenable, the suggestion that killing the babies conceived through rape by the terrorists, is the most humane action to take in this instance. Since the babies are ignorant and innocent of the crimes – aggression, sexual assault, dehumanisation – against their mothers, it is unethical to punish them for the sins and offences of their erring fathers.”
The group said one of its support mechanisms would be the establishment of crisis-pregnancy management centres to help Nigerians, who might stand in need of similar help anywhere in the country.
While expressing deep sorrow at the trauma endured by many Nigerians under the orgy of violence and terror by the Boko Haram sect, the CBCN said it opposed the “shallow arguments” being promoted by some individuals and groups, saying it meant repaying violence with an even more vicious violence.
The Bishops advised the victims to draw comfort from God, adding that the life of every baby is distinct, different and unique from that of their parents.

Those children are innocent

I thought it has been made clear that nurture is greater than nature.

These women and their yet to be born babies need rehabilitation and proper. Counselling complete with support.


I will suggest they get evacuated from the north and the women and their babies identities protected.

And mind you those children are 50% from their mothers.

So those innocent babies are to die because of their fathers and how they were concieved?

Society is morally obligated to protect and nurture those babies.

All life is sacred including that of Boko Haram lunacy.

Killing those babies just adds to more deaths.

God has a way of doing his miracles. Those babies lives are ordained by the Creator Himself and they will surely bring good. We just have to find a way of making their lives positive and finally get some decency from all thismadness.

What nonsense.

Ca±holic church always display holier than thou attitude whereas they are the worst hypocrites in christendom.

Do they consider the trauma of a woman, haven been raped by a terrorist and still keep the baby who reminds her of her travails?

Bunch of hypocrites. undecided
