Liechtenstein Moves Into the 20th Century

While everywhere else in the 21st century, the moral majority seeks to limit the right to an abortion.

Defying Church, Voters Endorse Abortion Law

Voters in the tiny Alpine principality of Liechtenstein overwhelmingly endorsed a law authorizing abortion during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Antiabortion advocates, led by the Roman Catholic archbishop, had proposed a different text to prohibit abortion under any circumstances. It was rejected by 81% of voters.
Liechtenstein is now in agreement with the rest of Western Europe — except for Ireland — in legalizing abortion early in pregnancy. Liechtenstein has about 33,000 people and is three-quarters Catholic.
