Abortion is common in Samburu. Young unmarried warriors have girlfriends. It is common, almost expected, that they will have sexual intercourse with their girlfriends. Understandably a number of girls become pregnant, but it is not acceptable for an unmarried girl to give birth. That is very bad in their culture. Therefore, the only solution seems to be abortion. Pray that many Samburu, women and men, will recognize the sanctity of the life God has given, reject abortion, and change those traditions that lead to this dilema.
