“No man has the right to give his opinion on abortion,” controversial PN candidate Salvu Mallia said on INDEPTH. 

Interviewed by The Malta Independent news editor Rachel Attard, Mr Mallia said that, “I should have never pronounced myself against abortion because I am not a woman. The issue of abortion is an issue that only women should speak about.”

Mr Mallia said that abortion is an issue that concerns the woman and the foetus, and the man should have no say in the matter or interfere in the decision. Mr Mallia said that women should stop allowing men to get involved in what is a woman’s right.

Salvu Mallia was confirmed as a PN candidate for the upcoming general elections during a meeting of the Executive Council that was held last October. He will contest the 2nd and 12th electoral districts.
