Author and activist Lara Calleja has called for disabled people to be included more in the abortion debate, saying disability is often used in arguments against abortion.
“Not in my name”, Calleja told MaltaToday, objecting to the use of disabled people as an argument against abortion.
She said people sought abortions for many different reasons and emphasised that disabled people needed to be part of that discussion themselves.
