KENYA: PRO-ABORTION ACTIVISTS ADMINISTER BIRTH CONTROL TO SCHOOLGIRLS WITHOUT PARENTAL KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT ; ALLEGED NEWS

A KENYAN COMMUNITY IS FURIOUS AFTER MARIE STOPES ABORTION WORKERS ALLEGEDLY IMPLANTED LONG LASTING CONTRACEPTIVE DEVICES INTO SCHOOLGIRLS WITHOUT THEIR PARENTS' KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT: ALLEGED NEWS. [1]

Nairobi News Nation reported abortion activists with Marie Stopes International visited the Archbishop Boniface Lele Secondary School Mang'elu in Kitui, Kenya, on Wednesday, supposedly to give a presentation to schoolgirls about health awareness: Alleged News. [1]
  However, unbeknown to parents and school administrators, the abortion business also allegedly gave long lasting birth control to dozens of teenage students, Alleged News. [1]
  Among the contraception alleged to have been given to the young girls was Norplant, the hormone-carrying rod used to prevent pregnancy which is inserted under the skin, usually in the upper arm and which is effective for up to five years; Alleged News. [2]

CONDEMNATION
The incident which occurred on Wednesday when the world was celebrating the day of the girl child attracted condemnation from parents, Kitui leaders and the Catholic Church, which sponsors the school, because the girls are under the consenting age in matters of reproductive health, Alleged News. [2]
  Norplant has serious side effects which include prolonged and irregular bleeding, vomiting, breast pain, weight gain and scalp hair loss among others; Alleged News. [2]

ARREST DEMANDED
Leaders and parents demanded immediate arrest and prosecution of the Marie Stopes staff involved, and thorough screening of all female students in the school to reverse the birth control procedures before they take effect; Alleged News. [2]

Kitui senator Enoch Wambua condemned the incident, saying it bordered on criminality: Alleged News. [2]

POPULATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE ON NORPLANT
Norplant is an abortifacient contraceptive that had harmed thousands of women in the U.S. and many more around the world, Alleged News. [8]
  "No sooner had Norplant been approved by the FDA in 1990 than women who received the implant began reporting serious side effects. 
  By 1996, over 6,000 complaints of "adverse medical consequences" had been filed by American women who were suffering from various Norplant-related ailments, from heavy bleeding and vision impairment to general malaise and lack of appetite", Alleged News. [8]
  PRI investigations found that some women went blind, some were actually bedridden for months on end; Alleged News. [8]
Some died, Alleged News. [8]

ABORTIFACIENT
According to Population Research Institute, both forms of Norplant are implanted under the skin of the upper arm, Alleged News. [8]
Both contain the same active ingredient; levonorgestrel is a synthetic progestin; Alleged News. [8]
  Like other steroid-based drugs, it thickens the cervical mucus and, sometimes [but not always] inhibits ovulation, and alters the lining of the uterus to prevent implantation; Alleged News. [8]
  This means that women on Norplant can conceive children, who are then aborted after failing to implant in the uterus; Alleged News. [8]
