Nelson Mandela - a great man I believe - But ...Huh?<br />Nelson Mandela - a great man I believe - But Pro-Life?<br />I think not.<br />Or have I misunderstood the video?<br /><br />When Nelson Mandela came into power in my country - he and his government legalised abortion.<br />Before then... the Apartheid Government only allowed abortion in cases of insest, rape and a couple of other cases.Deborahhttp://www.deborah.co.zanoreply@blogger.com
