Gift of life has applauded Maltese MEPS for their pro-life vote on the Tarabella Rapport.
However, it expressed disappointment that MEP David Casa did not vote on the amendments presented as he was not present.
"Our Island has a very small voice in Europe on these issues and every vote in favour of human life from conception is precious," it said.
On Wednesday, the Maltese MEPs voted against an article that “emphasises that women must have control over their sexual and reproductive rights” another saying this would be available “through easy access to contraception and abortion” and another which “emphasises that women must have access free of charge to consultation on abortion".
