Malta remains a strongly pro-life country<\/a> with numerous laws recognizing the right to life of preborn babies. As is common for other countries that protect the preborn, there is growing pressure from outside countries to legalize elective abortion in Malta.<\/p>\n

An article for the BBC<\/a>\u00a0highlighting efforts to introduce legal abortion in Malta unintentionally reveals the dangers of abortion for women. The article includes the story of a woman identified only as \u201cRoberta\u201d to protect her identity. She is a Maltese woman in her 30s who traveled to the United Kingdom to undergo an abortion.\u00a0Roberta took the abortion pill<\/a>\u00a0while in the UK.\u00a0Describing the experience, she says<\/a>, “The abortion hit on the train, after I left the clinic. I literally thought I was bleeding to death. I passed out from the pain on the train, alone.”<\/p>\n

Her horrific ordeal did not end there. She continued, “When I got off the train and to my hotel, I thought I was dying. I thought something had gone wrong.\u201d She was violently ill and recalls, “The hotel room looked like the scene of a murder. Blood on everything, projectile vomiting. Again, I’m completely on my own.”\u00a0Once she returned to Malta, Roberta continued to bleed for 40 days.<\/p>\n
