Prince Alois has the royal veto power that he threatened to use in the past to override a referendum being pushed by abortion supporters in pro-life Liechtenstein.
(LifeSiteNews) — Abortion activists are spearheading another attempt to legalize abortion in Liechtenstein, the tiny German-speaking country landlocked between Switzerland and Austria.
Abortion activists claimed that the results had been a consequence of the prince’s intervention.
Tensions between the ruling prince and parliament resulted in a referendum in 2003 that confirmed and enhanced royal veto power.
Abortion activists hope that a referendum with a vote that is clearly in favor of abortion “might do the trick.”
