Monaco’s Abortion Compromise: A Betrayal of Catholic Statehood
ACI Prensa via Catholic News Agency reports on Prince Albert II’s refusal to expand Monaco’s abortion law, framing it as a defense of the principality’s Catholic identity. The article applauds the monarch for blocking legislation that would have permitted abortion up to 16 weeks in cases of rape and lowered parental consent age limits, noting Monaco’s constitution recognizes Catholicism as the state religion. However, the report omits that the principality’s existing law already permits abortion in cases of rape, fetal deformity, and maternal health — a fatal compromise with the culture of death.
