列支敦士登议会以13票对12票的微弱多数通过一项公民倡议，支持将堕胎在妊娠前12周合法化1。该倡议还要求取消全国堕胎信息禁令并将堕胎纳入医疗保险范围1。这项由自由名单党成员、28岁的塔特亚娜·艾萨德发起的倡议获得了4,970份签名支持1。
然而，这项议会决定面临来自掌握绝对权力的世袭王储阿洛伊斯的严重阻力1。王储已表示将行使否决权，声称他的"主要担忧是倡议没有对未出生生命提供足够保护"1。虽然他暗示愿意对现有规则进行某些改革，但该法案不太可能生效1。
列支敦士登约80%的人口信仰罗马天主教1。现行堕胎规则仅在女性生命危险或强奸情况下才允许堕胎，违反者最高可面临监禁3年（医生）或1年（妇女）1。2011年的公投中，52%的投票者反对堕胎合法化1。
Liechtenstein's parliament has narrowly approved a citizen-initiated petition to legalize abortion during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy, with lawmakers voting 13 to 12 in favor 1. The proposal would also lift a nationwide ban on abortion information and bring the procedure under the country's health insurance system 1. However, the legislation is unlikely to take effect: Hereditary Prince Alois, who holds absolute veto power in the constitutional monarchy, has already signaled his intention to block the measure 1.
The initiative was launched by 28-year-old Tatjana As'Ad, a member of the Free List party, and gathered 4,970 signatures—nearly five times the required threshold 1. Prince Alois expressed his principal concern, stating that "the initiative does not provide sufficient protection for unborn life" 1. The hereditary prince's powers include the authority to dissolve the government, dismiss ministers, appoint judges, propose legislation, and reject bills 1. Under Liechtenstein's current law, abortion is permitted only when a woman's life is endangered or in cases of rape; violations carry maximum penalties of three years imprisonment for doctors and one year for women 1.
The reform effort reflects religious demographics in the principality, where approximately 80 percent of the population practices Roman Catholicism 1. A 2011 public referendum on legalizing abortion had previously failed, with 52 percent of voters rejecting the proposal 1. Though Prince Alois has hinted at openness to certain reforms of existing rules, his veto authority means the parliamentary vote is unlikely to result in legislative change 1.
