Throughout history efforts to legalize abortion have been and continue to be built on lies. An American woman experienced pregnancy complications while in the country of Malta, a nation that protects babies. At sixteen weeks the amniotic sac of Andrea Prudente’s baby ruptured but doctors provided standard healthcare they’ve used for 40 years. Since Andrea and her baby were both doing very well, they refused to do an abortion at the request of the mother. So, she traveled to Spain for an abortion and later sued Malta for jeopardizing her life, which wasn’t true. When asked by the judge about the need for an abortion, her doctor said, “The patient had never been in danger of death.” But the international media trumpeted her false claim to pressure Malta into changing its law.
