Liechtenstein's prince has vetoed a proposed abortion law, citing religious and moral grounds, per Zenit.
The move follows intense national debate over reproductive rights, with the legislation having passed parliament earlier this week, BBC notes.
The decision has sparked both domestic and international outcry, with human rights groups calling it a regression in women's freedoms, ZENIT reports.
The country's small population of 40,000 lives under a unique constitutional monarchy system, with the prince holding significant executive powers, Times Now reports.
E14 places every story on a stack of fifteen floors, from the fields under everything to the planet acting as one. This one sits on E12, states; the pressure it names: Sovereign veto power. Its words also reach E9 cultures, E10 institutions and E6 organisms.
Here it is a dynamic between states, cultures and institutions: prince, constitutional monarchy system and executive powers (E12 states), with religious and moral grounds and reproductive rights (E9 cultures), and women's freedoms (E10 institutions).
