Mwatha Denied Holly Sendoff By Catholic Church Over Abortion.

A postmortem report carried out on the body of the slain Human Rights activist Calorine Mwatha concurred with the police report which earlier noted that that she died while aborting and police had so far netted seven people in relation to the matter.

The fallen Dandora Human Rights Activist was laid to rest on Thursday but the catholic church refused to hold a requiem mass for her on grounds that she had succumbed to a botched abortion. Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops General Secretary Father Daniel Rono revealed that the church had a strong stand against abortion and that life begins at conception.

“The sanctity of the foetus must be protected and that starts from conception. Once fertilization occurs, that is a human being and the child must be protected to its natural death. Anyone who aborts is a murderer,” added National Council of Churches’ leader Reverend Nelson Makanda.

Her memorial service was, therefore, presided over by Reverend Timothy Njoya of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA).
