The pro-life group Gift of Life Foundation has thanked Labour deputy leader Toni Abela for clarifying his position on abortion in cases of rape when there is a possibility that the baby would be severely disabled.
GOL was reacting to a statement by Dr Abela carried on timesofmalta.com where he declared: "I have since then changed my view and my position is against any abortion."
Dr Abela issued his statement after being asked on Dissett to clarify comments on abortion he made some years ago.
Gift of Life said it would also like to thank the PL for again making its pro-life position absolutely clear by stating that the party was against all forms of abortion.
