Liechtenstein prince vetoes abortion bill

Liechtenstein's Hereditary Prince Alois rejected a bill that aimed to legalize abortion within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, despite significant public support. The current law only permits abortion in cases of severe health risks or sexual assault. Women often travel to Austria or Switzerland for the procedure, facing additional challenges. The proposed legislation, backed by a citizens' initiative, sought to decriminalize abortion and allow information dissemination about the procedure.
