Human Life International shared news of the incident that occurred September 29, 2023, at Natola Secondary School in the Dowa District of Central Malawi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Father A. Zikomankhani, Executive Director of Human Life International Malawi, explained how Natola Secondary School has regularly welcomed visitors from life-advocating organizations such as Pro-Life Malawi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHuman Life International has visited Natola and was invited to do so again a few weeks before the students kicked the abortion promoters out of the classroom,\u201d Zikomankhani recounted. \u201cWe\u2019ve been teaching them about chastity, along with the dangers of using contraception and the dangers of abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Members of Family Planning Association of Malawi, a local affiliate of International Planned Parenthood Federation, showed up at the school with an agenda that included instruction on how to use condoms and other forms of contraception to avoid pregnancies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zikomankhani related what the school\u2019s head teacher witnessed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTo the surprise of everybody, the students at Natola refused the abortion promoters sent to teach them and chased them away,\u201d Zikomankhani said. \u201cThe teacher was sure that it was due to what he called the \u2018good pro-life message\u2019 that Human Life International has been sharing with the students.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a dramatic underscoring of the students\u2019 opinion of the unwelcome visitors, the youth burned the boxes of condoms and other contraceptives that Family Planning Association of Malawi had brought for distribution at the school.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is encouraging to hear that these students are embracing the culture of life,\u201d Zikomankhani remarked. \u201cThe Natola teacher told me that since Human Life International first began visiting the school, none of the girls there have gotten pregnant, and that\u2019s a fact he attributes to the pro-life education that Human Life International has been supplying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The southeast African Republic of Malawi offers some of the world\u2019s strongest protections for preborn babies, thus is a frequent target of global abortion promoters, including International Planned Parenthood Federation. In recent years, Malawi\u2019s National Assembly has seen repeated attempts to force unrestricted abortion. With 98% of Malawians being religious, abortion has been a deeply divisive issue that is expected to raise its ugly head again in upcoming legislative sessions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Human Life International will be there in those legislative discussions to fight on behalf of life. And the worldwide pro-life authority will continue visiting schools like Natola Secondary School in Malawi to foster a culture of life and warn against the dangers being promoted and deceptions practiced by the global abortion lobby.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><em>About Human Life International<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Human Life International is the only US-based authority on global life issues, including abortion, contraception, and end-of-life concerns.
