Rome, 21 May (AKI) - The RU486 abortion pill will be dispensed in the Italian capital Rome and surrounding region, its conservative governor, Renata Polverini said on Friday. The controversial drug became available in Italy in April and has already been given to several women in hospitals the northern Lombardy region and southern region of Puglia. "Taking the abortion pill is equivalent to a surgical abortion that is permissible for medical reasons. For this reason, the Lazio region will administer RU486 in its hospitals," said Polverini, during an address to a pro-life meeting. "We want to stress that the drug must be dispensed in hospitals," Polverini said, urging adequate counselling for women considering terminating their pregancy. "For a woman, there's no worse option than an abortion," she said. The abortion pill is a highly emotive issue in overwhelmingly Catholic Italy, one of the last countries in Europe to introduce the drug. The Vatican has censured RU486 and about 70 percent of Italian doctors say they are unwilling to perform abortions on religious grounds. Two newly elected conservative governors, Roberto Cota in the northern Piedmont region and Luca Zaia in the northeastern Veneto region have openly opposed the abortion pill being made available in local hospitals. The Italian pharmaceutical authority AIFA in July 2009 authorised the administration of RU486 in hospitals under medical supervision as an alternative to surgical abortion up to the 49th day of pregnancy.

With the low European birthrate, the rise of Islam is Europe and the fact that this evil is an affront to God, this is the last thing they need!
A sociological Darwin award is theirs.

Italy has one of the lowest fertility rates in the world at 1.41 children per family. I figure the abortion pill will help that go lower to 1.2 or so.
