There is a clash in the Lazio Region over the new project to allow the administration of the Ru486 abortion pill in family clinics, therefore also outside hospitals, on an outpatient basis. "With the determination of 16 March 2017, n. G03244 of the Health and Social Policies Directorate, the Lazio Region has set up a technical table for the development of a project to perform chemical abortion on an outpatient basis at the clinics. This experimental phase, which should be activated next May, is completely illegitimate, since chemical abortion cannot be practiced in the clinics, but only, as well as in hospitals, in adequately equipped public clinics ”. This was strongly stated by Olimpia Tarzia, vice president of the Culture Commission and president of the Lista Storace Group in the Lazio Regional Council, who presented an urgent question to ask for clarification from the president of the Region, Nicola Zingaretti.
“The counseling centers - insists Tarzia - cannot absolutely be considered public clinics, being established by the peculiar national law n. 405/75 'Establishment of family counseling centers', which defines their purposes and functions ". Pharmacological abortion through the administration of Ru486 “requires more assistance than surgical abortion - continues Tarzia - since it is not possible to know exactly the exact moment of expulsion. Reason for which, also for the needs of health and safety for women, the guidelines of the Ministry of Health - he recalls - establish that pharmacological abortion can only be carried out in ordinary hospitalization ". “Shortly after the announcement of the announcement for two non-objecting doctors at the San Camillo, President Zingaretti pulls out another completely illegitimate provision and does not appear to answer the Health Commission, despite being formally asked by President Lena. Who knows - Tarzia concludes - if he will decide to come to the Chamber when my urgent question is scheduled, to at least explain the reason for this persistence in paving the way for the drama of abortion, rather than preventing it ”.
Are we still talking about abortion? The clash would be whether to perform abortion in the hospital or in the clinic?
Personally I would exclude this word and every discussion of a practice that, in my opinion, sounds like a legalized murder.
