STRASBOURG – Italy discriminates against doctors and medical personnel who have not opted for conscientious objection on abortion. This was stated by the Council of Europe, accepting an appeal of the CGIL and claiming that these health are victims of “different types of disadvantages working directly and indirectly.” “The disadvantages suffered by the staff who made no objection”, according to the Strasbourg organization, “simply come from the fact that some doctors provide abortion services within the law”, and “so there is no reasonable or objective reason for this difference in treatment. “
Satisfied with the decision Susanna Camusso , secretary general of the CGIL:” An important judgment – comments – it reaffirms the obligation of proper implementation of the law 194, which does not can remain only on paper. the national health system must be able to ensure a uniform medical service throughout the national territory, preventing the legitimate request of the woman risks being unheard. This decision of the Council of Europe reaffirms that the state must guarantee the interruption of the right of free and pregnancy so that women can freely choose to become mothers without discrimination, depending on the personal circumstances of each. ” The Minister of Health, Beatrice Lorenzin, he says rather surprised: “I intend to discuss with my office, but I am very surprised because the first things I read it seems to me refer back to old data that go back to 2013. The figure today it’s different”. He adds: “From 2013 to today we have installed a new counting methodology and in the report that we presented to Parliament recently there is not a discrepancy. There are only a few public companies that have some critical due to organizational problems. And we also attended calling. ” For the minister, “we are normal, even below. And there is absolutely no violation of the right to health.”
At the rejoinder minister the same union. “The data is updated at the public hearing that was held before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg on 7 September 2015 and have never been denied by the Ministry of Health and the Italian Government” states the head of the CGIL general policies, Loredana Taddei. “We want a serious and definitive leading Italy to overcome this state to set aside or disruption of hospitals and regions.”
READ – clandestine abortion, the web is spreading the protest against the fine
difficult route. The Council of Europe this loop of trying Italy because, in spite of the law 194/78, access to voluntary termination services is complicated. The European body said, then, “permissible” the use of the CGIL to the Court on the violation of rights to health of women wishing to terminate a pregnancy (in the manner prescribed by law), and doctors do not conscientious objectors.
“women who seek access to abortion services-we read in the conclusions – continue to have faced substantial difficulties in having access to these services in practice, in spite of what is required by law” .
the European Committee of social rights of the Council of Europe denounces a situation in which “in some cases, given the urgency of the required procedures, women who want an abortion may be forced to go to other structures (compared to public ones), in Italy or abroad, or to end their pregnancy without the support or supervision of the competent health authorities, or they may be deterred from accessing abortion services to which they are entitled under instead the law 194/78. “
According to the Committee, this kind of situations can” present a substantial risk to the health and well-being of the women concerned, which is contrary to the right to health protection. “
Pd: “serious situation.” “During this legislature, I submitted several questions to the government on the issue – said the deputy of the Democratic Party, Roberta Agostini – . In some regions the objection percentages among gynecologists are higher than 80%: in Molise (93.3%), Basilicata (90.2%), in Sicily (87.6%), in Puglia (86.1 %), in Campania (81.8%), Lazio and Abruzzo (80.7%). Four out of ten public hospitals, in fact, does not apply the law 194 and continue to increase illegal abortions. It is quite clear that in Italy it is violating the right to health of women and the urgency of ensuring the voluntary termination of pregnancy services in each facility and throughout the national territory, in the full implementation of Act 194 of 1978. We ask the government and regions to act now taking the appropriate and necessary measures to ensure the rights of women and doctors. “
Turkish:” Parliament should do more. “” the statement of the Council of Europe notes that Italy, despite the reassuring data of the report to Parliament on the implementation of 194, must do more and better. Abortion must be central in political decisions and not marginal as it is, “said the former Minister of Health, Livia Turkish .” There has to be a concrete vigilance – and should insiste- enable all actions possible practices for effective regulation of conscientious objection, of which effective indications are contained in the report of the bioethics committee of the Presidency of the Council chaired by Casavola. “
Meloni against Strasbourg “pronouncements ridiculous.” Do not agree with the Council of Europe, the leaders of FDI, Giorgia Meloni , a candidate for mayor of Rome: “the pronouncements of Council of Europe are ridiculous: only deal with ideological issues, as does also the CGIL. In Italy it is not too difficult to have an abortion is difficult to have a child, thanks to the policies of the European institutions that have starved the Italian families to swell the coffers of the big banks and lobbies that govern them. We begin to allocate to maternity support European funds, then we will see how many will be women who will want
