LAIGA: “OFFICIAL DATA DO NOT TAKE ACCOUNT OBJECTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS – The numbers in the report are, however, questioned by Italian gynecologists Free Association for the application of Law 194/78 ( Laiga ) that focus on the “abysmal differences existing between the various regions” which make it absolutely is not significant to the data reported on a national scale. ” The Laiga appreciates the news activation of a technical committee with the regions to monitor the individual structures and this is expected “data real working conditions of the few gynecologists” that allow the application of 194 , and information “on the obstacles he encounters the right to health of women in the vast majority of regions”, since “ forced to migrate to stop an unwanted pregnancy.  221; Right denied as that of ‘ pharmacological interruption , or RU486 , often inaccessible “for difficulties related to the need for hospitalization expected in almost all regions “whereas if given in day hospital would allow considerable reduction in time and costs.

MOVEMENT FOR LIFE: “GOOD NEWS. OUR RESPECT AND THE CHURCH – Reading opposite the Movement for Life that defines a “good news” that conscientious objection Gynecologists “in constant growth.” “The Ministerial Report – says the president Carlo Casini – makes the calculation of how many abortions must practice a doctor objector every week. The calculation says 1.7, a figure that shows the absurdity of ideological and intolerant actions brought before the Council of Europe also by the CGIL against Italy. The pro-life movement that was formed before the Council of Europe to defend Italy and conscientious objectors will use this part of the text to counter this attack. ” Casini, in a statement, also notes that “the ministerial report on abortions in Italy raises two questions . The f irst: the numbers are complete? I am certainly with regard to Ivg hospital , but are complete even if the criterion of judgment concerning the destruction of human lives incipient? If we follow this second criterion must take into account the effects produced by ‘ unknowable chemical abortion (400 thousand packs of morning-after pill sold every year) and the persistence of’ clandestine abortion classic of which a few episodes ago judiciary occasionally emerge “existence. Second question posed by the pro-life movement, “If overall decrease in the loss of life has been, what are the causes? Certainly it is not about the law 194, but the collapse in the number of Italian women of childbearing age and ‘ educational action held by the Church and the Movement for Life, from’ welfare action of our Centers in support of life that helped to be born each year not less than 10 thousand children, “says Casini.

AVENUE (RADICALS): “READING ON MEDICAL OBJECTORS MISLEADING” – I was the first to observe the conventions, especially in controversy with those who wants to abolish conscientious objection, that the number of doctors do not objectors could be enough and divide the number of abortions per physician, per region, per year and per week, but no concrete steps the simple read data is misleading and instrumental – said Silvio Viale , the gynecologist Turin promoter of the introduction of RU486 in Italy and responsible for the service of the S. Ivg Anna di Torino – Adopting the same criteria for the parties, would attend every gynecologist 2.36 infants per week . The minister would have to add it. ” “I do not know how many of the 1,546 doctors objectors do not really Ivg and under what conditions they are work ing, but do not think it makes sense to ensure the IVG in all more than 500 points Italian birth , “said Viale that are still” sterile controversy on conscientious objection if they are not accompanied by concrete measures that identify the largest hospitals in which focus Ivg, ensuring more staff available and dedicated beds. This would ensure greater privacy , professionalism and better, too, finally dignity and update accordingly. “
