EPHA member IPPF-EN has drafted an open letter to denounce the current situation in Italy in relation to abortion. The letter has been sent by the Italian MEP Pia Locatelli (President of the European Socialist Women Association) to every MEP and assistant of the European Parliament. It is a strong statement on abortion and against the Catholic Church position on the issue.
The text can be downloaded below. It stresses the substantial risk that the Italian policies on sexual and reproductive health will intrinsically follow the guidelines of the hierarchy of the Catholic Church and will become increasingly indifferent to women’s rights and liberties.
