SDM condemns abortion resolution
The SDM (Christian Democratic Students) yesterday condemned "without any reservations" the recent resolution approved by the Council of Europe which called for the decriminalisation of abortion in the member states.
SDM said it feels that it is indeed a dark day for the Council of Europe, an organisation set up to protect human liberties, when it calls for a resolution which calls for the destruction of future generations.
"SDM would like to applaud the EPP MPs for voting against this resolution and for having tried to stave off this debate which was carried out in a most unusual manner for an issue so serious.
"SDM would also like to show its full solidarity with the Maltese delegation which worked together in order to try and lobby against this resolution. It fills us with great courage to see that on an issue so important, political divisions were placed aside and the national interest prevailed," it said.

Regards whether men should have a say or not - well why shouldn't they? First we spend ages complaining because men aren't interested in 'what women want' and 'don't understand women' - then we exclude them when it best suits us. Like one man said, it takes two to tango and a baby is not just a product of its mother, but its father too.
I stand by what i have always said, that a decision so personal and emotional should remain so and be the choice of those involved. Not the choice of Ms Attard's and her friends. You are free to make your own choice in life MS Attard, now let me make mine.
It is useless condemning the eu, remember that the eu court is now the last legal resort, whether one likes it or not.
Ms. Cassar, it is not a matter of convenience or not, but being true to oneself
Yes I agree with you we should therefore allow people to murder each other without anyone getting involved, of course, that does not mean i agree with murder, just to be clear now.
So, if one kills a 3 month old foetus in the guise of an 'abortion', it is legally accepted. If one kills a newborn baby, he/she will be, rightly so, considered the most ruthless and heartless of all killers.
I support and commend all initiatiaves to safeguard the most fundamental of human rights - the right to life.
