The local church leader said that we do not need to bring in abortion into the conversation but doctors should do everything to save the woman’s life.
Speaking during the homily for the Feast of the Birth of St John the Baptist, Scicluna expressed his sympathies with Andrea Prudente (the woman in question) and Jay Weeldreyer who were expecting a baby but suffered birth complications in the form of a miscarriage.
Scicluna prayed that the doctors find the necessary means to save both mother and child, saying that if the unborn could is not saved, no law, local or international, says that the mother should be left to die.
He went on to say that we should care for every life from the very moment of its conception, and said that for no reason should we abandon any life due to imperfections because ‘God abandons no one.’
The situation was made public by Doctors for Choice Malta with a social media post, leading to the story going international and calls for the legalisation and decriminalisation of abortion resurfacing on the island.

A carelessly parked leased car in the middle of the road in Triq Bordino, St Paul’s Bay ended up causing massive traffic delays. Tallinja routes were the main recipients of such delays as the buses could not pass due to the obstruction caused.
Tallinja’s Facebook page reported the obstruction, informing the public that routes 48 and 203 were stuck in the road awaiting removal of the car.
Police were informed almost immediately but given that it was a leased car it took far longer than expected to get the road cleared. Authorities took around 2 hours to get the car cleared, having been reported early at 6 in the morning and ending up being fully cleared at around 0745hrs.
The road has since been reopened and Tallinja service restored.

Following two restriction-ridden years of the COVID-19 pandemic, weddings in Malta have made a huge comeback, with caterers, entertainment providers and businesses working around the clock to ensure that their business are back on their feet.
Chamber for Small and Medium Enterprises (GRTU) head Abigail Mamo reported that spring 2022 was always expected to be busy, especially after two years of a pandemic… but wedding rates had been declining before the pandemic.
The National Statistics Office reported that marriages decreased by 157 from 2018 to 2019, with 2019 seeing a total of 2,674 marriages. Various factors reportedly contributed to this decrease, with the COVID-19 being a contributing factor.
Globally, the New York Times had reported an expected 2.5 million weddings in 2022, the most since 1984.
