Pro-life groups claim PBS attempted to censor President’s speech on abortion

Pro-life groups claim PBS attempted to censor President's speech on abortion
Jan 28 2023 Share

The Life Network Foundation, Doctors for Life and I See Life organisations, coming together as the coalition ‘Inti Tista’ Ssalvani’ have written a formal letter to the Public Broadcasting Services (PBS) and Broadcasting Authority claiming censorship of the President of Malta George Vella’s speech regarding abortion.

In a media communication, the coalition claimed that the PBS newsroom “decided to report everything stated by the President during [his speech on International Holocaust Remembrance Day] except the portion where he talks about abortion.

“Millions of unborn babies are being killed before being given the chance to see the light of day”, President Vella stated during his speech. The coalition went on to argue that this strong statement by the President merits attention and “the fact that PBS decided not to report this, particularly in the present circumstances is an attempt of censorship on the President”.

The communication also stated that this was not the first time the PBS newsroom decided to be selective and censor its reporting, going on to argue that the same newsroom chose to censor everything stated by the doctors during Andrea Prudente’s case in Malta.

“All this is in violation of the clear provision of the Constitution of Malta as well as the provisions in the Broadcasting law which extend this obligation directly to the public broadcaster and which impose on it the obligation to ensure that the services of its news are objective and comprehensive”, the statement read.

What do you make of this?

Despite Malta being at low-risk from flooding, heavy rain and storms can cause flash flooding in certain areas, particularly in urban areas where drainage systems may be overwhelmed.
