Pastor Francis A.M Mambu, General Overseer of the Faith Healing Bible Church, has denied accepting modifications to the Safe Motherhood and Reproductive Health Bill.
In a statement released on Monday, Pastor Mambu refuted claims made on the website and Facebook page of the Ministry of Information and Civic Education.
“Contrary to the statement issued by the Ministry, I want to categorically state that I have not accepted any modifications to the bill,” Pastor Mambu said. “My position remains unchanged until we have thoroughly reviewed the proposed amendments.”
He emphasized that his recent meeting with government officials was merely a forum for dialogue. “At the meeting, I simply expressed our appreciation to the President for acknowledging the concerns raised by religious leaders,” Pastor Mambu stated. “We had previously submitted our position paper to the Parliamentary Legislative Committee and requested access to the proposed amendments.”
“We have now received the amendments and are currently studying them carefully,” he continued. “We will release a collective position as a religious body after our review is complete.”
Pastor Mambu urged the public to disregard the Ministry’s statement. “I advise the general public to dismiss as incorrect and untrue the statement posted on the website and Facebook page of the Ministry of Information and Civic Education,” he concluded.
The Safe Motherhood Bill, which legalized abortion in certain circumstances, sparked controversy, facing opposition from religious groups and some civil society organizations when it was introduced in Parliament last December. Critics raised concerns that the bill could undermine the country’s cultural values and the sanctity of life.
Following engagement with the Inter Religious Council and inputs from various sections of the public, the Ministry of Health proposed major amendments to the bill, permitting abortion only in limited circumstances.
I know Pastor Mambu will never accept such bill. I’m very confident in that because he’s one of the true man of God in our country and the the world 🌎.
POWERFUL MESSAGE! FROM CONCERN CITIZENS, TO THE PRESIDENT, FIRST LADY AND ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS OF SIERRA LEONE👇
TOPIC: “ABORTION” IS IMMORAL AND INHUMANE!!!.
WRITTEN BY: UMARU MEINDAY(meinday.com) OF NJAGBOIMA, BO.
ABORTION! Simply Means:
Intentionally Murdering An Unborn Child Or Baby.😭😭
Many people believe that: Every human being, including an embryo or foetus, has the right to live and to reach their potentials.
But the sad news is that; many unborn children of Sierra Leone are about to lose this choice.
Abortion destroys human life and makes life appears very cheap and disposable, This affects the quality and value of life.
There are rumours in majority of the Mosques, Churches, Social media platforms, every street, every corner and everywhere within Sierra Leone.
That The US Is Pressuring Sierra Leone To Adopt Lax Abortion Laws In Exchange For Foreign Aid: Report👇 https:// phoenix-browser. com/IF1FvBVLhLK
Dear Our President (Dr. Bio):
I know you are a real man of good moral standards, Some of us are really impressed with the way you’ve fostered collaboration within the nation. Your good communication skills and your active listening have created a wonderful impact on this nation, therefore; we believe your aim is to create an environment where everyone feels valued, safe and heard.
I want you to know that life is the most important human right, and it is said that life begins at conception, and from conception to our final breath on this Earth, all life is a sacred gift from Allah, it must be cherished in our hearts and protected through our actions, both in our capacity as individuals and also through our laws and policies as a nation.Therefore you need to understand that every life is so precious and has something unique to contribute in this world. By considering the factors mentioned above, you will realized that abortion is morally wrong.
Dear Our First Lady Of Sierra Leone (Dr. Fatima Maada Bio): We know that your vision is so high, in advocating for women, I described you as a champion in uplifting the status of women. It’s important for you to know that abortion is profoundly anti-woman.
Abortion kills twice, It kills the body of the baby and it kills the conscience of the mother. Three(3) quarters of it’s victims are women; Half the baby and all the mothers, therefore; abortion is described as weapon of destruction for women and children.
The real truth is that there is no more precious gift, you can give than life. You also know that; the right to life is the first right mentioned in the “Universal declaration of Human Rights. Every human being, born or pre-born, is entitled to this fundamental right.”
Please carefully consider that… The first feminists where pro-life…
Elizabeth C. Stanton called abortion “evil”
Sarah F. Norton called abortion a “crime”
Susan B. Anthony called abortion “child murder”
Alice Paul called abortion “the ultimate exploitation of women”
According to the sayings of those prominent women above, We may understand that; Abortion does not elevate women but degrades them.
For this reasons… We strongly believe that you will triple-up your action against abortion just as the “Hand Off Our Girls” and other female Champaigns.
Dear Our Honored Stakeholders: We highly recognized all of you and we appreciate all of you, for your endless efforts in delivering for this nation. All of you have an important role to play in the development and the backwardness of this nation. Therefore I’m here telling you that; life is the most basic human right, and without it, no other right can be enjoyed or protected.
I believe that you have the responsibility to defend the vulnerable and the weak. I also believe that our nation should set a goal, that unborn children should be welcomed in life and protected by law.
The life of the unborn child is of equal value to the life of the mother, and any law that disregards this, is injustice and must be opposed.
For This reason, Sierra Leoneans are expecting The President, Frist Lady, Vice President, Chief Minister, All Other Ministers, Parliamentarians And All Other Stakeholders. To Reject And Oppose This Injustice To Our Unborn Children.
I conclude by saying Sierra Leone is a faithful country and well recognized for it religious moral ethics.
Please! Let Maintained The Good Image Of This Nation.
ALLAH BLESS YOU ALL AND BLESS SIERRA LEONE.
MAY ALLAH HELP THOSE WHO WILL SHARE THIS SENSITIZATION… AMEEN.

THIS IS A WAKE UP CALL FROM [UMARU MEINDAY(meinday.com)] TO ALL SIERRA LEONEANS.🇸🇱
VERY POWERFUL MESSAGE 👇
One person has a great potential to make a great difference.
Abortion does not kill a potential human person, it kills a human with great potentials.
How can the dream survive, if we murder the unborn children?
Are we making a legislation, that will put the unborn children in a certain risk situation, as if they are like slaves in the prison of there mother’s womb, and that their mothers should decides, weather to sentenced them or to set them free.?
The right to life is not a woman’s decision, It’s Allah’s decision, Allah is the only one, who can decide weather a person should live or die, not a woman.
Are we recognizing women’s rights above the righ of children or unborn children, even when we Are conscious that children are weak, voiceless and defenseless than their mothers.?
We cannot diminished the value of one category of human life (unborn), without diminishing the value of all human being. My belief is that… To have life is a blessing and to destroy life is a curse.
To be “pro-life” is to recognize the inherent value of every human being, regardless of their stage of development. I want you to know that you are called to stand for those who cannot stand for themselves.
Just as your individual self is important to Allah, the same way one preborn baby is important to Allah. I want you to realize that you where once in that same situation, if your mother had aborted you, all the potentials in you could have ended long ago.
Please let this great motivations gives you enough energy/zeal to defend the unborn children. Join the fight now to save our future babies and souls across the nation. Do not allow the fear of opposition or the deception of the pro-choice world to cause you sway.
Thank you for reading, may Allah bless Sierra Leone and bless you.
