L’aggiornamento delle “Linee di indirizzo sulla interruzione volontaria di gravidanza con mifepristone e prostaglandine”. L’ultima trincea dell’effettività del servizio di interruzione della gravidanza

A temporary reorganization of the SSN, required to face the Covid-19 pandemic, had consequences on other medical services such as access to the abortion service. In addition to such difficulties caused by the pandemic, the abortion service suffers from the historical weaknesses characterizing the law on abortion throughout the national territory, mainly due to the large number of conscientious objectors. The new guidelines of the Ministry of Health on medical abortion seem to aim at the implementation of the medical abortion procedure diffusion in order to solve old and new difficulties, through the most updated international scientific convictions, clinical practice and the choice of women.
