This is my contribution, together with lawyer Edric Micallef Figallo, in the Times of Malta today. It explains the implications of the change in the laws prohibiting abortion in Malta, passed last June. Now, any defence against an accusation of an illegal termination of life is strictly limited to when an intervention is absolutely necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman, or prevent grave danger to her life. No intervention can be justified on the basis of the termination itself, alone, and the termination can only be justified if it is an inevitable side effect of treatment directed to save the life of the mother-to-be.
