Before breaking for my pastoral experience that I did in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, I attended a course in Medical Ethics taught by Reverend
Prof. Raphael Wanjohi. Different films were shown to us according to the topics we
tackled in class. The most striking film was about scientific abortive methods in
which women were assisted to abort. The abortionists in that movie used modem
instruments to carry out abortion in different ways. Those women were bleeding at
length for so long. Most of them who were interrogated afterwards gave me the
impression that their decision to have abortion was out of a total ignorance. This
explains why they resolved not to abort anymore.
At Tangaza College, after my pastoral, I attended another course in Pastoral
Psychology I and II which were taught by the same Professor, Wanjohi. In the first
part of this course. two sisters who were attending classes with us showed a film
about a Kenyan woman who had had an abortion. This African lady was taken to a
medical doctor who used the same modem instruments we saw in the first film to
assist her in killing the unborn baby.
