>The royal house emphasises that since the reform of criminal law in 2015, the legal situation for women seeking an abortion has improved significantly. Women are no longer prosecuted if they have an abortion.
…
>If rejected by the Landtag, a referendum will be held. In both cases, the Liechtenstein monarch has the right to refuse to sanction the law.
You can beat me up if you like, but I will always call this guy a dictator.
Unfortunately, Liechtenstein is very conservative. The pope created a new Archdiocese in Liechtenstein to get rid of bishop Wolfgang Haas (read up on him, terrible guy) because he reckoned the Liechtensteiners were conservative enough to accept him. The current solution with abortion is mostly accepted because they can pretend they are uber moral catholics who ban abortion but since they have to go to Switzerland, Austria or Germany to get it done anyway it doesn’t matter, they still have the option. Technically law enforcement can go after women who had an abortion abroad but in practice this rarely to never happens.
