Ivg, ‘We are confident that we can further improve the text’
After three long days of discussion in Commission IV, the discussion on voluntary termination of pregnancy (IVG) ended. This concludes the step of the legislative process before reaching the second reading in August in the Great and General Council for final approval. The bill should have accepted in an irrefutable way the mandate strongly expressed by 77% of the population. Many amendments were shared unanimously that have been integrated into the text, starting from articles 3 and 4 which deal with the procedure for accessing the IVG within and after the twelfth week, but there have been occasions to try to get around the goal. The Consultorio remains the cornerstone, and it is evident that there are two ways of interpreting it. One as an informative tool of free and optional access, a concrete space where to seek help in a confidential manner and not only for the IVG. The other is an obligatory passage for the woman who wants to access the IVG who, along the lines of the law, considers it as a concession of last resort, as if to create an obstacle course with the only obvious goal of changing her mind. women also through the advertising of pro-life voluntary associations, distorting in our opinion the principle enshrined in the referendum. It will also be difficult to settle the drafting of Article 1 where on the one hand there is a secular vision and on the other a more ideological position. Rete presented interventions to guarantee the freedom of choice on IVG and on questions relating to one’s sexuality, the promotion of interventions to protect sexual and reproductive health also through training and education. All amendments aimed at completing the standard by integrating it with important aspects such as conscientious objection, data monitoring, protection of privacy, abstention from work which, integrated with the proposals of other groups, have had a unanimous consensus . We are confident that we can further improve the regulatory text with respect to how it was dismissed by Commission IV, trying to eliminate all those aspects that we believe to be an obstacle to the free and conscious choice of women that there are no more prejudices or inquisitions. The institutional role that should respect, represent and concretize the will of citizenship.
