Italy ok’s abortion pill
The Italian Pharmaceuticals Agency (AIFA) announced its decision late on Thursday after a long meeting during which it was lobbied intensely by the church and Catholic politicians, including many from Silvio Berlusconi’s center-right government.
Silvio Viale, a Turin gynecologist who has campaigned for the pill to be authorized, said the AIFA decision was “a victory for Italian women, who from today have more freedom and choice.”
“But I am sorry it has come 20 years late. If such there had been such an innovative drug for something like the prostate I doubt we would have had to wait so long,” said Viale.
Comparing a baby to the prostate?
