 Italy Approves Abortion PillPosted on Jul 31, 2009
In the face of strong conservative Catholic opposition, Italy has approved use of the RU486 abortion drug. Italian authorities decided to allow the drug to be administered by a doctor up to the seventh week of pregnancy. The pill was introduced 20 years ago in France, but it has taken Italy that long to catch up with women’s reproductive rights.

Thanks for your candor: morality is repression that enables rampant, unrestricted breeding. In your world, a woman is just a vessel for producing offspring, rather like a cow. We should all be under the yoke of Christianity and fascism, all the while crowing about Jesus, God, Babies and Shopping. Bravo!

Technically we’re talking about an embryo, not a fetus, up to the 9th week after fertilization (11th week of gestational age). Seems to me it would help if we used the right terms.

Hell, the USA is just as “stupidly”. I was in family planning for years and we prayed daily for RU486. Sorry, the conservative idiots always win in this banana land.
