Malta, the last remaining pro-life country in the European Union, is moving to relax its laws protecting preborn children from abortion. Lawmakers are looking to allow abortions to be committed when a woman’s life or health are at risk, even though the intentional killing of a preborn human being (induced abortion) is not medically necessary, and lifesaving and human dignity-affirming alternatives are available.
In June, an American woman, Andrea Prudente, went public with her complaints about not being able to undergo a supposedly medically necessary abortion after experiencing preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). Though abortion is not a necessary medical response to PPROM, the case immediately made international headlines, putting Malta under even more pressure to loosen its pro-life laws.
Though Prudente’s case led the world to call for legalized abortion in Malta, Prudente didn’t actually need an induced abortion. First, Maltese law already allows premature delivery if the woman’s life is at risk, and it doesn’t matter whether the baby is alive, has a heartbeat, or is old enough to survive outside the womb. If the baby does pass away after a premature delivery in such a case, it is a tragedy — but it is not an induced abortion.
And as Dr. Calum Miller pointed out on Twitter, Malta already has the lowest maternal mortality ratio in the world, without a single maternal death in the last 10 years. And though Prudente may have felt she needed an abortion, PPROM is not inherently life-threatening.
