A pro-life message to all MEPs

Last Tuesday, Gift of Life sent a letter to all five Maltese MEPs. Here is what we wrote:

"Allow us to congratulate you on your recent election as an MEPs representing Malta. Gift of Life is committed to working with all our MEPs on all pro-life issues being discussed at a European level.

"We strongly believe that our MEPs have an important role to play not only in defending our island's pro-life values but also in defending human life from conception in any other country, whether within the EU or not.

"We have noted that on various occasions over the last five years, some MEPs either abstained or did not vote in a pro-life manner on issues that are of particular interest to our foundation and indeed to Maltese citizens. Unlike in the last five years, we are now committed to informing the public on the positive and negative voting performance of all our MEPs in real time. This will include postings on our website and Facebook, e-mails, press releases and letters as well as adverts in the local papers, among others.

"We understand the challenges you face as a pro-life MEP in Europe and appreciate the pressure that you may at times be under from other parties and groups that are not pro-life. We wish to place the full resources of our foundation and our associates at your disposal and assist you with any information you may need to help you to vote positively on pro-life matters.

"Should you be faced with any technical issues that you may need to debate and vote on, such as, for example, issues like stem cell research and cloning, we will be more than pleased to assist you in any way we can."
