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.
