Modena Luca Ghelfi: Law 194/78 should be applied in its real spirit
Article 1 of Law 194/78 states: The State guarantees the right to conscientious and responsible procreation recognizes the social value of motherhood and protection of human life from its beginning. The voluntary interruption of pregnancy under this Act is not a means of birth control.
The State, regions and local authorities within their powers and functions, promote and develop health services and other necessary steps to ensure that abortion is used for limiting births.
The Sunday newspaper article read, in which Dr. Silvana Borsani describes the identikit of the woman who chooses an abortion, I was reminded of the opening words of this law, much cited, but perhaps not always well applied, they speak for economic reasons, lack of employment as a result of choosing to practice voluntary interruption of pregnancy. I’d occasionally hear of many women who come to counseling are addressed to different solutions from the interruption of pregnancy. How many are getting help from social services because sent from a clinic. And I ask this not to criticize the work of many operators that are committed every day, but because it is these numbers that we should work as public bodies to understand better how to help women, and really avoid the use of abortion as a control system birth, at a time of difficulty.
The signal should not be underestimated in this sense, is the increasing number of health workers and doctors who are conscientious objection to this practice, now 51% in Modena. On these resources, this new awareness of the problem of protecting life, we should work. The goal is not as supportive left allying prevent access to women, but to help those it is aimed for economic reasons, or personal or social difficulties, to find different ways, if there is a desire to fund to continue a pregnancy.
