My Voice, My Choice, a major European reproductive rights movement with 1.2 million Instagram followers, has issued a stark warning to women considering visiting Malta, reigniting debate over the country’s abortion laws.In a widely shared Instagram post, the organisation declared:“If you know a woman, if you love a woman, or if you are a woman – don’t go to Malta.”The warning centres on the case of Andrea Prudente, an American tourist whose pregnancy complications during a 2022 holiday in Malta sparked international controversy.Prudente began experiencing a miscarriage at around 16 weeks of pregnancy, with doctors determining that the foetus was unlikely to survive.However, because a foetal heartbeat remained, doctors in Malta did not terminate the pregnancy.After spending several days in hospital, Prudente was transferred to Spain, where doctors ended the pregnancy.Her experience attracted international attention and became a prominent case in debates surrounding Malta’s restrictive abortion legislation.In July 2026, a Maltese court dismissed Prudente’s constitutional case, finding that it had not been established that her life was in danger at the time.The ruling was criticised by reproductive rights organisations, which argued that it failed to adequately recognise the risks she faced.The latest Instagram post also criticised the court’s decision, drawing particular attention to references to a doctor’s “sixth sense” when treating patients.The campaign highlighted that Malta’s abortion laws do not provide exceptions for rape or incest.Although Malta introduced a limited exception in 2023 for circumstances involving serious risks to a pregnant woman’s life, abortion remains prohibited in most other cases.The post has attracted thousands of likes, bringing renewed international attention to Malta’s reproductive healthcare laws.What do you make of the campaign’s warning against visiting Malta?•
