Rome (Italy), July 2, EFE, (Camera: Álvaro Padilla).- Dozens of women demonstrated on Thursday in Rome in front of the Ministry of Health, after having done so in other Italian cities, to demand that the right to a safe abortion be made effective, after the setbacks that have occurred in some regions governed by the ultra-right.FOOTAGE OF THE PROTEST AND SOUNDBITES FROM ELISABETTA CANITANO, A GYNAECOLOGISTTRANSLATION:"Italian law prohibits the use of pharmacological abortion up to 9 weeks of pregnancy, because the Catholic Church is inserted in hospitals, in the decision-making bodies.""Our health is in the hands of priests and businessmen. We want a public, secular health system that allows for reproductive rights, the free choice of women and that is on a par with the rest of Europe."
