Italy moves toward abortion bill approval
The Chamber of Deputies approved the first three articles of a historic abortion bill and is expected to pass the full measure by Friday. The plan would allow a woman to choose abortion in the first 90 days with doctors reviewing the case, and would fund abortions at public expense if she insists after a waiting period. The Christian Democrats led amendments but did not force a confidence vote, while the bill enjoys support from the Communists and allied parties amid inflation concerns.
