GħSL - Policy

About

This policy paper is a testament to the hard-work, unwavering effort and consistent effort that GħSL exhibits, and has exhibited continously for the past decades, in different areas related to the legal profession and to student activism. While this is by no means the first policy paper which discusses a topic considered by the vox populi as perhaps more contentious than the norm, the intrepid initiative behind this policy paper is objectively a remarkable step. The commonly-held assumption, that any discussion related to abortion (be it political, legal, philosophical or even academic) is beset with half-truths, assumptions and unanswered queries, remains to be completely vanquished. Nevertheless, we hope that this paper plants a new standard-bearer for any such conversation moving forward.
