First son Nic Chakwera delves into abortion debate: ‘People with no right to life’
Are there people who are alive today but had no right to live? The answer is shocking if you listen to some people.
Rev. Jesse Jackson, the famous civil rights leader, was conceived when his mother at 16 years was raped (statutory rape). According to modern pro-abortion reasoning, his mother had a right to get rid of him. In other words, he had no right to live. But the thing is, if at any point in your life you had no right to live then at every point of your life you remain without that right. Why? Because it’s an inalienable/inseparable right that cannot be added or subtracted from a human being.
Once you become a human being, you have the right to life. You cannot be a human being without the right to live today and next day you transform into a human with a right to live. You either have it or you don’t the very first instant you become a human being or a member of the Homo sapiens.
Ethel Waters, an award-winning singer who has sang in front of millions, had no right to live because she was conceived when her mom was raped at 13 years of age.
South African Pastor Solly Maghlangu of the ‘Obrigado’ fame had no right to live being conceived in rape. Pregnancies from rape are less than 2 percent of the cases, yet the children born out of those tragedies have made the world a better place and there are many. It’s not their mother’s wishes that gave them the right to life but their humanity. A mother’s wish whether to abort or to keep a child has no power to confer or withhold the right to life. A woman’s wish only has the power to violate or protect that right the baby already has intrinsically.
Nick Cannon, a renowned comedian, rapper, television host and singer Mariah Carey’s ex-husband, was almost aborted by his mother who was 17 years old and still in high school when she got pregnant with him. She went to the baby-killing clinic and changed her mind.
The modern day ‘prince of pop music’ Justin Beiber was recommended for abortion because his mom was only 17 year old. But she refused to even make it an option. The rest is phenomenal history.
Ann Durhum pregnant at 17 while just starting college had every reason to abort that child according to the pro-abortionist logic. Well, there would have been no Barack Obama. Or, shall we say, Obama has no right to live? When did he get that right if he has it?
There is another famous black gospel singer Fred Hammond who is a survivor of a failed abortion. His mom went to have an abortion and they gave her pills and a plastic bag to carry the contents back to the clinic the following day. Nothing happened that night and she was mad with the doctors who told her to just go for an operation to get rid of the baby. While she was lying on the operation table, she heard God’s voice warning her and she ran away from that table never to come back. Fred Hammond has touched millions of lives and yet he only discovered this recently.
There are many in our own country that were recommended for abortion but are alive today. There are many more who were born with disabilities and ailments that according to pro-abortion logic should be aborted if detected before birth. They too don’t have a right to live. You cannot have a right to live by accident or default just because Malawi lacks machines to detect your disability and recommend you for abortion. Right to life is not subject to such contingencies. You either have it or you don’t.
The bottom line is that we all don’t have a right to live. I mean, is there ever a case in which the woman has no right to abort? This question is going to the abortion crowd. The consistent answer according to abortion advocates is that a woman has an absolute right to abort anytime her ‘health’ is threatened. By health we mean, financial, mental, emotional, social, physical, academic, vocational etc.
There is no excuse for abortion that cannot fit into this. So, we all could have been aborted. We had no right to live if not for our mother’s wishes. Therefore, we have no right to live even now.
Let the killings begin! Let me know if you don’t think pro-abortion logic leads to that.

Hypocrites are the ones against abortion. There are many valid reasons and situations where abortion should be the best option therefore the law wants to accommodate that. Even in the Bible, God (if you believe in God) commanded some killing depending on situations contrary to His own commandment of ” thou shalt not kill”. And mind you, Malawi is a secular country, so you religious hypocrites go and rot in the hell which you created.
There is something terribly wrong with most peoples reasoning. The very person who brought this idea of women rights to abortion was born from a woman. If this woman had the right to abort, i think this world could have a better place to live in. Life begins at conception. The art of making a human being be made into what we are is enshrined in the Lord our God. If we advocate for the killing of the unborn people, how different is that from capital punishment, which condemed world wide? Let us be serious. The harm to the unborn… Read more »
Unless God should takes out His Word from Jeremiah 1:5, that says “Before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you and ordained you a prophet “.
Guys God starts counting while the baby s inside her mothers womb. So do NOT confuse things.
Just come in the open and declare your agenda . Do not hide behind rape and others.
Malawi cant manage other health services NOW. So are you adding Abortions on request?
You want to collapse the system ?
Ladies and gentlemen.
When God says ,You shall not kill, we should not try to bend the command.
We will always be caught up if we try to trick God.
Do NOT be deceived . God is NOT mocked .Whatever a man sows that shall he reap.
We definately need tread carefully lest we pollute Mother Malawi.
Nobody is arguing that if someone is raped, then they must automatically abort the pregnancy. Nope. They should have the right to decide whether or not they want to have that baby. That’s all we’re saying. So the author should stop using his privileged position to influence this debate. Let poor women and girls have access to safe and legal abortion. Sizikukukhudzani ayi. Mxii! It’s an issue between the girl/woman, her conscience, her trusted advisers, and her god if they believe in one. Osati Nic Chakwera alowelepo pa nkhani yawo ayi. Ase!!
WHAT AN INSENSITIVE COMMENT, I DON’T THINK YOU WOULD BE HERE COMMENTING TODAY IF YOUR MOTHER CHOSE TO KILL YOU WHILST IN THE WOMB. NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO KILL ANOTHER PERSON EVEN WITH THAT FREEDOM OF CHOICE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. EVERY LIFE IS SACRED AND NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO YAKE IT AWAY EXCEPT ITS AUTHOR.
hey hey, when you have mastered the art of divorcing personalities from facts, you will enrich every debate you are in. Until then, you will keep bubbling without the benefit of the intellect.
I have to agree with you. The reverend was just expressing his ideas and did not in way force his opinion on anyone
The ten commandments are very clear. Thou shall not kill.
on the bylines 1. Make contraception widely available and accessible, and civic educate the masses on the same (contraception coverage is still miserably low!) 2. Every man should be responsible for children they sire. Government ought to find ways of making paternity tests affordable and accessible for this to be possible 3. Increase the punishment for sexual crimes 4. Set up serious and operational support services for victims of sexual and related crimes. Now, doing all the above and other measures does not negate the importance of legalizing abortion because even if we do all the above people will still… Read more »
Some men want abortions so much to the point they can kill their the girl they have impregnated if she dare refuse to acquiesce. It’s a shame. Stop hiding behind women’s rights to abort in order to cover your shameful behaviour! They talk about abortions as if talking to standard one pupil.
Its clear in the Bible that ” You shall not murder – Exodus 20: 13″. Let no man violate God’s principle through committing an abortion no matter what the circumstance and everyone has a right to life.
unfortunately for you the same bible also issues some outright genocidal instructions. In one place it even explicitly orders to kill witches! bottomline nobody in their right faculties would use the bible as a moral standard it simply does not hold up to the test
It’s not a simple subject. A lot of intricate views from both sides.
Lets just work hard to reduce unwanted pregnancies.
Very good comment
