I have absolutely no qualms about condoning what Archbishop Charles Scicluna and Bishop Mario Grech had to say about the morning-after pill. They did not beat about the bush and simply said No. The bishops are perfectly entitled to their views, which are based on our Christian faith.

Even if the baby is still a tiny dot, the morning-after pill eliminates the beginning of life. I will not judge women who want this pill to be available in Malta but neither am I going to be prevented from telling them that taking this pill is indeed a form of abortion.

So what if some other countries allow this pill on the market? Other countries have the death penalty, euthanasia and abortion but we don’t. Why do we have to follow suit?

I sincerely hope that our country will continue to be free from the ‘clutches’ of such pills.
