In the face of strong conservative Catholic opposition, Italy has finally approved the use of the RU486 abortion drug—a pill which can abort a fetus up to the seventh week of pregnancy. The pill was first introduced 20 years ago in France, but it has seemingly taken those 20 years for Italy to come to terms with women’s reproductive rights.
