Prince of Liechtenstein to oppose depenalization of abortion

Alois of Liechtenstein, the hereditary prince of the tiny European nation, has declared his opposition to the depenalization of abortion, which is currently the subject of a popular referendum in his country, reports LifeSiteNews.com.

Alois made use of the national celebration of the principality on August 15 to state that, if the initiative is approved, he will “oppose” its ratification as a law, hinting that his father, the nation’s sovereign, will refuse to sign it. Without the prince’s signature, proposed legislation cannot enter into force in Liechtenstein.

The Parliament of Liechtenstein has already registered its disapproval, with only 7 of 25 members voting in favor of a similar measure.
