The proposed constitution will curtail the vast powers of the Kenyan president, offering more balance among the different branches of government in an effort to bring order and stability to the political process of a nation often torn by tumultuous exchanges of power.
FTA
Of course, as soon as the word abortion appears, nothing else pertaining to this Kenyan referendum matters. The entire story degenerates into "Obama administration sending tax payer money to Kenya for abortion legislation"

I'm pro-life (anti abortion, whatever), but that's not the issue I have here. We have people starving in our country. We are 10's of trillions of dollars in debt and we're giving money to OTHER countries to INFLUENCE THEIR LEGISLATION?! Come on! Sure there's probably other instances, but I can't rely on the media to present those to me if they aren't based on a partisan issue.
I think a worse problem than giving money to Kenya is being addicted to Middle East oil, which is costing us orders of magnitude more money.
Sorry Harry, my mistake.
All things being equal, 99.9999999% of Americans could care less where the oil that fuels their cars originated. The so-called "addiction" to oil from the Middle East is in reality a desire to acquire oil at the lowest possible cost. To claim that our desire to acquire oil at the lowest possible cost is costing us orders of magnitude more money is just ridiculous.I think a worse problem than giving money to Kenya is being addicted to Middle East oil, which is costing us orders of magnitude more money.

Moderator's Warning: |
The majority or Americans do not want their tax dollars to fund abortions. Maybe we can get it stopped if we cry racism.
Yeah the American people are tired of being refered to as "The American people" to justify an argument.
Oh for ****'s sake, conservatives. We can't even give ANY money to countries that perform abortions? We should abandon Kenya in their attempt to ratify a constitution because there's abortion in it?
I like how one of the links describes it as "forced abortions."
Uhm are you suggesting that human beings are less in kenya than they are in the US so we should care less about the slaughter of thier unborn?
No, we're suggesting that this isn't "money used to fund abortions."
No it's used to fund abortion legislation.

The Proposed Constitution of Kenya in Sec 26(4) reiterates and reaffirms the current Kenyan penal code by stating: Abortion is not permitted unless, in the opinion of a trained health professional, there is need for emergency treatment, or the life or health of the mother is in danger, or if permitted by any other written law.
