An abortion "irrevocably and irreversibly" terminates the life of a human being through the direct action of other human beings, the Gift of Life Foundation said.
Referring to a statement by Labour Party deputy leader Toni Abela that he agreed with abortion in cases of rape and when there was the possibility that the child to be born would be severely disabled, the foundation said Dr Abela's statement discriminated against and was offensive towards people with disabilites.
The foundation said Dr Abela had a right to his own opinion but his views contradicted the claims of the PL, which regularly stated that it was pro-life and anti-abortion.
The foundation asked the PL to reconfirm it did not agree with Dr Abela's position.
