A Tale of Two Maltas

On the Pelvis issues, of course.

It appears as if the overwhelmingly orthodox Roman Catholic nation has it's own "Catholics for a Free Choice" provocateurs. They appear to have even less success.

Get the story from Lifesite news here.

Money quote:

Maltese blogger and pro-life activist at the EU, Robert Micallef, clarified what had happened. He told LifeSiteNews.com, that like the American “group,” Catholics for a Free Choice, the Malta Abortion Rights Support “movement” consists of two activists, Emy Bezzina and John Zammit. The two are also the “founders” – and sole members – of The Malta Divorce Movement, the Association for Men's Rights and the Family Rights Association. Micallef said, “The article on di-ve.com was removed upon realisation that ‘Malta Abortion Rights Support’ was simply an impromptu creation of Bezzina and Zammit who sent a press statement to the Maltese media.”

Everybody in Malta appears to get catholicism except them:

Unlike nearly everywhere else, however, to the Maltese, support for the abortion/population control agenda is a standing public joke that only the media seems not to get. Another Maltese political blogger, Fausto Majistral, who seems to enjoy covering the pair, called them “the comic relief” and commented, “What do you get when you put Emmy Bezzina and John Zammit together? Five associations, each with a membership of two.”

Could there really be a nation of Fools? A country in which the reasonable are held up to scorn? It sounds too good to be true! More details on Malta here.
