«More than 40 years after the entry into force of the law 194 which has decriminalized and regulated the right to abortion, we are not yet in a position to decide independently and have free access to voluntary termination of pregnancy ”. Giulia Crivellini, lawyer and treasurer of Italian Radicals, speaks at the presentation of the campaign Free to Abort promoted by Italian Radicals together with other associations to support the right to abortion.
The presentation of the campaign was made a Pescara because Abruzzo is one of the most difficult regions for those who want to terminate a pregnancy.
Here the administration of the RU486 pill can only take place in the hospital and a motion has been made to give allowances to women who choose not to have an abortion.
The difficulty of abortion is the same as that found in many other parts of Italy. In the words of Giulia Crivellini «because of the very high number of objectors, physical and psychological violence, the lack of clear and scientifically correct information and anti-abortion administrations ». For this reason, the campaign, with seven proposals, touches the ten Italian cities that suffer the most from the consequences of disservices on abortion. On the posters there are the testimonies of those who have suffered physical and psychological violence after having chosen the voluntary termination of pregnancy.
43 years from the law and 40 from the referendum, associations Friend, Italian Doctors Contraception and Abortion, and Luca Coscioni, have presented a proposal to update the law. To correct is the inequality of access to termination of pregnancy in the regions. Anna Pompili, Amica’s gynecologist, adds: «There are serious injustices generated by the very dictation of the law. I am thinking of the women forced to emigrate abroad where a late diagnosis of serious fetal pathology is made ”.
The items to be changed would be 5, 6 and 7. The last two concern the termination of pregnancy for severe fetal pathology beyond the 22nd week, the first sets a seven-day reflection period. As far as doctors are concerned, article 9, which does not provide for the obligation of continuity of assistance for the doctor, conscientious objector, should be changed.
The struggle for the right to abortion is global. After narrowing the possible cases for termination of pregnancy in Poland with the exclusion of abortion in case of malformation of the fetus. The association Abortion without borders, Abortion without borders, has seen an increase of over 10 thousand calls and requests to go abroad to have an abortion. The Czech Republic is the chosen destination because abortion is legal up to the first 12 weeks of pregnancy and is accessible to all women in the Union.
It is no better on the other side of the ocean. The governor of the Texas Greg Abbott has signed a new restrictive abortion law: a ban on voluntary termination of pregnancy after 6 weeks of gestation, although many women with these times do not even know they are pregnant. There are no exceptions for pregnancies due to rape or incest.
