The Ru486 abortion pill "will be distributed in Emilia-Romagna from next week".

This was stated by Stefano Bonaccini, president of Emilia-Romagna, guest of the program “Otto e Mezzo” on La7, referring to the distribution in the regional consultants. 

The Ru486 abortion pill - different from the "morning after" pill - can currently only be taken in health facilities: in Emilia-Romagna in day hospital since 2005 and in hospital since the end of 2021 also on an outpatient basis.

With the distribution of the Ru486 abortion pill in the regional clinics "we start next week - explained Bonaccini - from Parma, then Modena, Bologna, Romagna and all" the territory.

"There are regions that I have the impression they do not want to do it - he adds - This is the point. We must discuss issues that concern citizens, their rights, their concerns".
