Rome, May 23 (UNI) Women’s abortion rights in Italy are the worst they have been since the 1970s as a civil war rages on the issue, campaigners claim according to an Euronews report.
They say increasing numbers of gynaecologists are refusing to carry out terminations, forcing women into unsafe, illegal abortions.
It comes amid a publicity drive from anti-abortion organisations that are attempting to demonise women who terminate, according to Silvana Agatone, president of LAIGA, an association of gynaecologists that supports abortion rights.
