Options is a spoken word poetic piece highlighting pre-marital sex and abortion in the society.This is an issue mainly affecting youths in the slums.It encourages them to use protection or abstain from sex for the to avoid such issues.

Prior to 2010, abortions in Kenya were considered illegal unless it was to save the life of the mother. The new constitution provides greater latitude with respect to legal abortions; permitted legally when the pregnancy jeopardizes the life or health of the mother, with health being defined as physical, social and mental.

An extensive report on the issue of abortion in Kenya showed that in 2012, Kenyan women had about 465,000 abortions, the majority of which were illegal in unsafe conditions. Unsafe abortions cause an estimated 30% of maternal deaths and countless injuries according to one source. Most of the procedures have taken place in unsafe conditions, either outside of medical facilities or without the assistance of trained professionals. As a result, some 120,000 women sought medical treatment for complications from abortions.

With the implementation of the new constitution, it is hoped that pregnant women will be able to exercise their reproductive rights. A woman, with her doctor, can decide to have an abortion. The procedure can be performed without fear and the associated stigma. It would be performed in a safe medical environment with the right follow up care, avoiding unnecessary deaths and injuries.  Health care professionals and doctors would be trained in post-abortion treatment procedures and can conduct themselves without fear of repercussion.  Government investment and support in providing education and access to family planning tools and contraceptives will help avoid unintended pregnancies.

Those caught performing illegal abortion will face the government and punished accordingly.
