The report of my good colleague Laura Eduati,
pretended to have an abortion in the same hospital where he 'took the police to stop the blitz "feticide "....
I pretend to have an abortion in the Policlinico Federico II of Naples.
request information from a nurse who smokes a cigarette on the steps next to the writing on the wall: "It 's our hope was born, her name is Sofia.
directs me to a nurse who looks at me with understanding: "The lists are blocked by a few days." Blocked? "Yes, too many requests. You go to another hospital. " Then I write the number of the social worker. I try to look up and down the five floors of the building of Gynecology and Obstetrics, dirty stairs and some litter on the ground. They look at me wrong: "The social worker there, she is ill or on vacation." I take the elevator, next to a button 'other writing: "Maria I love you even though we lost our child."
In the department where Monday night raided seven police on suspicion of feticide, nonexistent crime, gynecologists are not objectors 6 out of 60. And they work in chaos.
"in Campania there is a centralized reservation system, "explains Dr. Francesco Leone, head of the voluntary interruption of pregnancy:" So women booked both here and in other hospitals to see where you are before an empty seat. Ten reservations if they have three, and this clogs up the waiting lists. "
The solution? "To claim that new employees are not conscientious objectors. Perhaps the regional inspection blitz after anti-abortion will help us to improve things. "
Enter the department of Gynecology and Obstetrics Hospital of the Second, among the most advanced of Campania and definitely a center of excellence in the South, is to enter into contact with the stark reality of the ethical issues re-opened from the front of Catholic women in a dressing gown with a belly waiting to give birth (2,000 shares in 2007), women waiting to do a therapeutic abortion (274) or a miscarriage within 90 days (1370), couples who are waiting their turn to a visit to the floor dedicated to IVF (200 cycles), or who came to collect the test of sterility (500), mature women with menopause at the outlet (1500), couples are anxious for a baby born too early and subjected to neonatal intensive care. The director of the department
Carmine Nappi floats between the pride of a first-team level and anger at the assault of the agents: "I do not know if it is a striking fact, I know that nothing happened, 'she begins sitting in his comprehensive study, with the photo of Karol Wojtyla in the back.
internal investigation, a simple summary of the facts, shall be deposited in the evening in the hands of general manager. The judicial inquiry, however, languishes on a siding. "Premera to sue the prosecutors who called to report them, caused the disgrace of the structure." Conscientious objector to Force Italy and voter, supporter of the resuscitation of the fetus at all costs but in favor of pre-implantation diagnosis is currently prohibited by law 40, Nappi main reason for a doctor: "We experienced a true comparison is, what my Carlo Flamigni gynecologist friend calls "an island of happy foreigners" where dialogue of our affairs without the interference of politics and manipulation. Why is this climate of witch-hunting harms women in the first place. The 194 is all right, just I wish the legislature would impose a time limit beyond which you can not do a therapeutic abortion. A limit equal for all. "
Since 1998 the General Hospital, which receives requests for therapeutic abortion of Naples and its province, has established a limit of 22 +7. Three days more, ie, the secular and even avant-garde Mangiagalli clinic in Milan who stops at 22 +3.
"In 2001 I wrote that Law 194 is applied and not changed, but today I think we need clarity on the limits' continues Nappi. He also agreed with Dr. Leone, that the debate on abortion in recent months is constructed truth "about nothing." Why the 194
already prohibits abortion when there is possibility of independent life of the fetus, and then when you practice an abortion beyond the 90th day, the physician should assume that the fetus is born dead. "But there is no means let me know with certainty whether a fetus is alive or not the 22nd or 23rd week," so sometimes it can happen that the fetus is alive. And then, according to Nappi, "it should be revived."
a different opinion, Dr. Leone: "Raise the 22nd week often results in additional problems for parents, the fetus that develops serious diseases and to society. " The law on abortion, the gynecologist Leo thinks it is not perfect but should be given the opportunity to have an abortion even after the 23rd, the date last convention adopted by gynecologists Italians, in the case of massive fetal disorders such as anencephaly discovered belatedly.
The debate is lively. In addition to medical journals and textbooks of obstetrics, Leo kept on the table the number of the Espresso with the interview with Emma Bonino and a series of police raids on newspapers. "But I do not feel criminalized. I do not think "kids" that I'll get out of the hospital as anti-abortion happens in America. " Medical issue, not question etica.Nonostante the high number of objectors gynecologists, Dr. Leo assures that "there has never been ideological clash between the different positions or there was never an attempt to proselytize by militants of the Movement for life." Short, there is a mutual respect that does not explain the brutal intervention of the police, with the seizure of medical records and the fetus of 500 grams, and the interrogation segment of the SS, the thirty-nine of Arzano (Na) just out of the room birth after a laborious therapeutic abortion. In the evening, the prosecutor of Naples Giovandomenico Lepore, coordinator of the investigation, said that the anonymous caller to 113 complained that infanticide was taking a bath in the hospital. Lepore then defends the officers would intervene with "absolute professionalism" and with full respect for privacy.
But the clarification does not diminish the flood of criticism of the prosecutor of Naples and the Minister of Justice asked the Attorney-General Luigi Scotti di Napoli Vincenzo Galgano a careful check of the judiciary on Intervention in the Department of Obstetrics Nappi.
The six women belonging to the Higher Judicial Council, horrified, asking along with a male organ of self-government intervention of the judiciary, while the president orders of doctors Amedeo Bianco is very concerned about the action of the police "is the substance that method. "
Strong condemnation of the CGIL, the National Association of Democratic Lawyers in part Barbara Spinelli issued a statement in solidarity with the women involved defining "regrettable" the intervention of the police. Of course involved politics: the Democratic Party proclaims that Anna Finocchiaro 194 and women's self-determination must be defended, Giuliano Ferrara points out that on Monday at the Policlinico "died a child," that the fetus of Mrs. SS but no one remembers it. Maria Luisa Boccia (PRC): "As for the blitz, the police must give an account that has made and the judge who approved it." The feminist movement and lesbian
will focus today on the 17 before the ministry of Health to protest against "a veritable declaration of war on women and their bodies. In the same hours the women EDU rally in Piazza Vanvitelli in Naples to attend the Left as the Rainbow, in front of the Mangiagalli clinic in Milan and Bologna in front of the St. Orsola hospital. Friday at 10 for a sit-in of the committee to defend the front of the 194 Hospital in Naples. Telefono Rosa will provide free legal assistance to SS All with the blessing of Barbara Pollastrini.
"I received phone calls of appreciation and solidarity from many politicians," says the primary Nappi. "He understands what is the problem? But that the political debate these issues without asking, technicians must intervene more. I want to discuss medical issues. "
And the problem of conscientious objectors, are not too many compared to non-objectors? "We should concentrate in a single structure so a woman would know exactly where to go if he wants to perform an abortion." "But the real problem is that there is no policy of contraception, we are last in Europe, the clinics are malfunctioning, lack of staff, women are often unaware that there are: they should take for example the prescription of the morning-after pill being open Saturday and Sunday. "
clinical details, proposals of this talk about doctors and not ideology. The reality is always somewhere else: that of women and bells that are struggling to find a doctor willing to do abortions, or find it but the nurses obiettrici deliver the glow of prostaglandin (the hormone that induces childbirth ed) by refusing to inject, forcing women to make their own. So some resort to private clinics for a fee and outlaws. As was the case in Ischia, where all the objectors in a public hospital and doctors were urging patients to have abortions in their private offices. Then there are those who used the trick: the doctor who injects compliant prostaglandin behind a large fee, then send the poor to have abortions in public facilities where doctors cataloging all as miscarriage. 14/02/2008
