ABBA wants police to investigate 18 activists for breaking abortion laws

Letters to the editor - July 11, 2021

Many peoplein Malta are pro-choice We refer to the article by Ramon Bonett Sladden entitled ‘In defence of the president’ (June 27). In October 2019, we were invited for a meeting with President George Vella. This invitation was a response to our public outcry at the time, objecting to his patronage at a screening of an unscientific anti-abortion propaganda film in an event organised by Life Network Foundation. Doctors for Choice Malta had already built its momentum with a large following after voicing its concerns with several important issues and our concern with the position taken by the president did not go unnoticed.

Definitely not a black or white issue I refer to ‘There’s no fundamental human right to abortion’ (December 19) to explain that access to abortion is regarded as a human right by major international organisations such as the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, the World Health Organisation, the United Nations, the Council of Europe and Amnesty International. Abortion is not a black and white issue. The views expressed by many Times of Malta correspondents rely on their personal moral beliefs, which are,  in turn, influenced by societal norms. In my view, self-perceived moral superiority has no place in a healthy society because when it comes to the very personal subject that is abortion there is no reliable universal measure of what is morally good or bad.
