Chris Barbara | We regularly take calls from distressed women who are resolute on ordering abortion pills, but are terrified that they would have the police knocking on their door
No person has faced criminal charges for getting an abortion or providing the means to terminate a pregnancy in Malta in the last five years.
Between 2015 and 2020, the police investigated three people for alleged abortions, none of whom were arraigned, they told Times of Malta.
Since the year 2000 only three women have been convicted of having an abortion.
In 2006, a 23-year-old Maltese woman was sentenced to three years’ probation.
The other two sentences happened in 2014, where one 30-year-old woman received two years’ jail, suspended for four years and another 28-year-old woman was sentenced to 18 months, suspended for two years.
It is estimated that some 400 Maltese women travel overseas to have an abortion and another 200 purchase abortion pills online every year.
