Citizens of Liechtenstein reject legalization of abortion

Voters in the tiny European country of Liechtenstein have rejected a proposal to legalize abortion in the first 12 weeks and in cases of fetal deformity, reports LifeSiteNews.com.

In a Sunday referendum, 52.3% voted to affirm article 27 of the nation’s constitution, which states that “everyone has the right to life.”

The proposal, which claimed to “help rather than punish” women who choose to have their unborn children killed, had already been voted down by the nation’s parliament in a 25-7 vote earlier this year.
