CWN Editor's Note: A spokesman for the Nigerian Catholic bishops’ conference testified against a bid to legalize abortion in that country, saying that the move would violate the Nigerian constitution, which says that “every person has a right to life, and no one shall be deprived intentionally of his life.”
Father Zacharia Nyantiso Samjumi said that instead of “destroying life, the government should amplify its efforts towards educating the people on the imperatives of the values and dignity of the human person.”
