Morning-after pill
It would be a very sad day for Malta should the morning-after pill be legalised for rape victims, as the resolution approved at the special sitting of the Youth Parliament suggested. The morning-after pill destroys the creation of a new life.

The morning-after pill destroys the creation of a new life. Conception would have taken place and the pill destroys it. Let no prospective mother be deceived.
Being raped and bearing the aggressor's child is very traumatic, and psychological and financial help should be provided; however, never was a wrong put right by another wrong. Initially the victim might do anything to get relief, but ultimately she would have to face not only the trauma of being raped but, worse, of killing her own offspring.
Ironically, the same Youth Parliament is against abortion which might confuse some individuals, especially traumatised victims. The morning-after pill destroys life just as abortion does.
