Gift of Life referred to a statement by
Labour Party deputy leader Toni Abela
on the TV programme Dissett in which
he said he agrees with abortion for cases
of rape and the possibility of giving birth
to severely disabled children.
It said that in both cases, an abortion
would irrevocably and irreversibly terminate
the life of a human being
through the direct action of other
human beings.
This statement also discriminates
against people with disability and is
offensive towards them as it portrays
their lives as being of less value, Gift of
Life added. “While respecting the fact
that Dr Abela has a right to his own personal
opinion, it is very concerning to see
that the views repeatedly expressed by
Dr Abela totally contradict the claims of
his party, the PL, which has regularly
stated that it is consistently pro-life and
not only anti-abortion. It is to this effect
that the PL is requested to reconfirm
that they do not agree with his position,”
it added.
