TRAVEL FOR ABORTION IN SWITZERLAND
«È il fallimento della nostra politica di prevenzione»
«Una donna su tre è Italian '
on 682 abortions performed in 2008, more than 200 have been requested by Italian. Peak operations in Canton Ticino
MILAN - Italian is nearly one in three women, those who stopped in Ticino pregnancy last year. Sounding the alarm about the "abortion tourism" in Switzerland was Carlo Luigi Caimi, lawyer and member of the Grand Council for the PPD (the power of the Christian Democrats), which last Thursday filed an interpellation to the State Council, denounced the total failure of prevention policy of the County. The data were processed by the Statistical Office of the physician and the cantons. In 2008 in Ticino 682 abortions were made, an increase of 11, 25% over the previous year (the Italian trend is -3.9%). In 33 percent of the women were residents 'abroad'.
Those who lived in our country was 221. More in detail: 206 of his Italian nationality, the other five foreign. Five years earlier, in 2003, "tourism" had affected 78 women. "These figures strike us and we could not observe in silence. The phenomenon, we made several assumptions: one of the problems is given by RU486, which is in Italy or not or if it makes a very limited use. Play to our advantage then the discourse of privacy, very strict. Add to this the efficiency of the health system and the almost total lack of waiting time. " The lawyer Caimi law so that the statistics brought forward in his parliamentary question. The entry 'abortion pill', then, is the most important in the choice of going in the Canton Ticino. According to the latest statistics, the breakdown of Italian has been in 180 drug cases, surgical in 25, and one required both methods. The age group involved between 25 and 29 years in far larger (106), then from 30 to 34 (ninety-two) and from 35 to 39 (seventy).
Silvio Viale, a gynecologist at Sant'Anna di Torino, who for years has been fighting in our country to introduce the abortifacient drug, matter has a lot to say. "The phenomenon of tourism is not new. Many Piedmont moving to France, as well as Liguria. For Switzerland had remained at the German-speaking cantons. Who moves, however, is a network of support on his return, perhaps guaranteed by the same doctor who suggested the trip. " Who are these women? 'People who find the information on the Internet. Who prefer to spend from 400 to 600 € over the border rather than making the code in our clinics, where there is always someone you can recognize or remember you. And they are women who do not want to risk the race against the clock of the few hospitals that today the import RU486. Since the request of France, generally, spend 4-5 days: just an unexpected blow to the abortion pill. " The issue of discretion is more convincing Basilio Tiso, medical director of the Mangiagalli clinic in Milan, where in recent months, the waiting time has lengthened from seven to twelve days because of increased demand. Comment: "By those numbers we see it simply the desire to have an abortion away from home, in secret." Again, in 2009.
