www.shutterstock.comI would like to congratulate Kevin Aquilina for his contribution in the Times of Malta (‘Guardian of the Constitution’, September 28).
The law sometimes works against itself. The law in Malta obviously made our dear President toothless. Aquilina said the solution lies elsewhere.
Could it be that it may lie in the dictum “Any law that goes against Natural Law is no law”?
The legislator would in this case be acting ultra vires and exceed his power.
The President is practically obliged to sign a law even if he or she is a conscientious objector, therefore going against his or her will.
However, if the enacted law is not a law and the President is only obliged to sign ‘a law’, he or she could refuse to sign it.
This might give the President his or her teeth back and would be able to save human life from freezing. Should the Prime Minister persist in his opinion on the matter?
Let me make it clear: I am not against helping those men and women who want to fulfil their right to motherhood and fatherhood, which is a vocation in life. However, I want to protect the human being that cannot protect itself.
Why is anybody allowed to freeze a human being?
A fertilised cell is so much a human being that immediately it is conceived, God creates its soul.
This makes the termination of the human being a murder.
I am not being sanctimonious, but as a good citizen, I want to abide by the law according to my European heritage. Every human being has the right to life.
