@christvictor_: Liechtenstein remains one of the few European countries where abortion is prohibited in most circumstances, with exceptions when the mother's life or health is at risk and in certain cases of rape. The principality is officially Catholic, and its prince retains constitutional authority, including the power to veto legislation. ⠀ A new proposal seeks to legalize abortion during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Prince Alois, who has served as regent since 2004 and is a practicing Catholic, has announced that he will block the proposal. He maintains that protecting unborn life is a fundamental principle that cannot be determined by a time limit. ⠀ He took a similar position in 2011, when voters rejected a nearly identical proposal by 52.3%. Campaigners later attempted to remove his veto authority, but 76% of voters supported allowing him to retain it. ✝️🇱🇮 ⠀ #jesus #christianity #catholic #liechtenstein
