I firmly believe that the lack of abortion services on the island means our medical authorities are falling short of the highest evidence based standards recommended by international guidelines.

Dr Natalie Psaila

Women are entitled to have agency over their lives, including control over when they get pregnant. They need full and non-judgmental access to contraception and abortion care.

Dr Gilbert Gravino

With a total ban on abortion, Malta remains the European Union's unenviable exception in the sector of sexual and reproductive health. Such sub-standard care in an otherwise esteemed national health service is not acceptable. This must change, and it will.

Dr Lara Dimitrijevic

We talk about equality and social justice, yet women in Malta continue to be discriminated, stigmatised over their reproductive choices, and even criminalised for having an abortion in Malta. We can only talk about having equal rights when women have true control over their bodies without reservation or condemnation. Every woman knows what's best for her life.

Dr Andrea Dibben

I am pro-choice because a ban on abortion is ineffective and cruel. It does not actually prevent abortion from happening but it makes it less safe for women, especially vulnerable ones.

Rimaz Bitrou

Pro-choice doesn't mean pro-abortion. It simply means that women have the right to choose to have an abortion if they want it, and also be able to choose not to have an abortion. Being pro-choice also means that those who would never have an abortion themselves support the right for women to make a different choice. Us women deserve to be given the right to choose and to be trusted.

Dr Saveria Cremona

I want to work in a country where I am not afraid to help my patients - where I do not have to refuse them control over their life and future becayse of an antiquated law and the opinion of other people.

Dr Rebecca Zammit

Abortion access is a human right because every person who is pregnant and does not wish to be deserves as much bodily autonomy as everyone else. Our role as medical professionals is to provide unbiased information and empathy - only the pregnant person can decide what is best for themselves.

Nevena Aleksic

Being pro-choice means putting aside your own personal views on the morality of abortion and respecting that people have the right to choose how they want to manage their own pregnancy.
