Eroding the moral fibre of the country
If Malta is a democracy, why is the government determined to introduce a law unilaterally without carrying out discussions with stakeholders, such as doctors, lawyers, ethicists etc?
If the prime minister says that he is against abortion, why does he not look at other foreign jurisdictions that allow it and analyse the wording of their laws and what makes abortion so easy to procure?
Why is he playing with words? As a lawyer, he knows that unless the wording of a law is clear, this can be very misleading and open to different interpretations.
Does he not know what a moral responsibility he has towards the people of this country, especially those among his supporters who are prepared to follow him blindly?
He can look at social media to see what is being regurgitated. The question of abortion should have never been politicised.
This is the remaining moral and ethical bastion that we have as a nation. In the last few years, so much has eroded the moral fibre of this country. With the passing of this law, the government will be responsible for the total destruction of the moral fibre of this country.
Not a very commendable achievement to boast...
