The UN is Forcing Abortion on Africa, but They Don’t Want It

Dr Wahome Ngare is a member of the Kenya Catholic Doctors Association, which blew the whistle in 2014 on a World Health Organization vaccine which was secretly laced with abortifacient and sterilization drugs. Their medical investigation shows that W.H.O. researchers conjugated tetanus toxoid with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) producing a “birth-control” vaccine. W.H.O. publications show a long-range purpose to reduce population growth in unstable “less developed countries.” Conjugating TT with hCG causes pregnancy hormones to be attacked by the immune system. “Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race.” – Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger “At the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth, and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.” – U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg The Kenyan Ministry of Health has been corrupted by Western NGOs: www.standardmedia.co.ke/kenya/article/2000142285/tetanus-jab-saga-exposes-serious-flaws-in-kenyas-handling-of-medical-products Topics discussed in this Dr J Show include: Kenya does not have a "population problem&quot, the Constitution of Kenya specifically states life begins at conception, and every person has the right to life.
