Situation uneven among the Italian regions regarding the use of RU486 , the abortion pill that allows women to avoid surgical abortion. The data provided by the Nordic Pharma , the pharmaceutical company that distributes the drug in Italy from April 1 2010, draw a map that make the idea of attention given to women, at a sensitive time like that of abortion.
A quarter of women with a pregnancy in the seven weeks, the system decides to choose an abortion drug, ie the pill RU486. Durini Marcus , medical director of the Nordic Pharma, explained that in a year in Italy about 118mila abortions are practiced within in Law 194, 30 thousand of these are under seven weeks. According to data provided in 2010 were sold in packs of 4300, while in 2011 the number now reaches 6700. The estimate is to get to the end of the year to 8 thousand. On these data, the question is legitimate, and turn to Lisa Canitano , President of ' Association Life of Woman . Why, as were 30,000 women who had an abortion under 7 weeks, only 8 000 have benefited dell'RU486? "The cause is in the difficulties that have been made in the use of this drug - explains Canitano - especially for what concerns the obligation of hospitalization the ordinary. Many women can not use it, what the more serious as the international recommendations give the best medical abortion as compared to surgery (up to 7 weeks). The numbers, moreover is underestimated because many centers do not perform the ' surgical abortion before the eighth week, and so women are forced to delay beyond the 7 days of reflection provided by law. If RU486 becomes unavailable, breaks before the seventh week would be a lot more than 30 000. " The only region which has approved a protocol in day hospital, in addition to hospitalization, is Emilia Romagna. In others, especially those at the top to use, many of the patients signed voluntary resignation and then return after the two days provided. Piedmont is in first place in the standings with 1972 sales of packs sold. Followed by Puglia (991), Liguria (718) and Tuscany (701). A strike of more attention, said Durini, is the "delay" of Lazio and Lombardy, which together account for more than a third of all abortions according to the national Law 194. Yesterday in Turin radicals demonstrated outside the palace of the Piedmont region in Piazza Castello to ask "for an end to the fiction of the double-hospitalization." In radical style all dressed as Santa Claus are presented with sacks full of boxes of RU486. The initiative has been branded "bad taste" by the deputy leader of the PDL in the regional council, Augusta Montaruli. Beyond the provocation, it is hoped that the new government and new Minister bring our country up to the other European weights . The radicals have chosen a way to highlight this glaring problem that affects the daily life and the suffering of women. MD IN ARGUMENT: Abortion: the pharmacological method, the abortion pill RU486
