Update country's laws to protect the unborn - PN

The Nationalist Party called for the protection of the unborn by updating the country's laws and also to ensure Malta remains a "model" to the EU.  In a statement to mark the World Day for Consecrated Life, the PN said it was now clear that there was no place for abortion in Malta and therefore the rights of the unborn should be protected at law. "The Opposition believes in a modern society and progress should be reflected in increasing the rights of the most vulnerable," PN spokesman Claudio Grech said.  It was also important to eliminate prejudice against those mothers who choose to continue giving protection to their unborn children, despite the difficulties they may encounter.
