“Abortion is not a choice but murder; abortion is not a right but a negation of the right to life; abortion is not beneficial, neither for society nor for the mother herself.” Said the bishops of Malta and Gozo.
The Church’s statement, published on Tuesday, comes in view of the debate in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on a motion which proposes to decriminalise abortion in those countries where it is already legalised.
Archbishop Paul Cremona and bishop Mario Grech said they wished to express their appreciation and support to the Maltese representatives from both sides of the House who are actively opposing the approval of this motion.
The bishops’ statement appeals to the rapporteurs of the Council of Europe to be objective in what they proposed for the consideration of the members, to present fact as facts, comments as comments and what is debatable as debatable.
