Malta – Abortion

Malta is the only country within the European Union where abortion, under all circumstances, is illegal.  By law, a woman and anyone who assists her (not a professional) with an abortion can serve 18 months to 3 years in prison. In contrast, a medical professional can serve up to 4 years in prison.
This law goes back to the 1850s.
