IVG : "Les femmes sont souvent prises de court"

IVG : "Les femmes sont souvent prises de court"

In a few days, the National Assembly will examine the draft renewal of the Veil law on voluntary termination of pregnancy, promulgated on 17 January 1975, for a transitional period of five years. Report in Rennes on the implementation of the Veil law in Brittany, where the practice of abortion encounters opposition and difficulties. A young woman who underwent an abortion at the Hôtel Dieu testifies. She did not encounter any particular difficulties because she was informed and the doctor "took the necessary time and psychological precautions." She mentions the cumbersome procedures and the very short time left for the woman to make her decision. Dr GUESNIER raises the problem of general anaesthesia, necessary with the method used. He’d like to get anesthesiologists. During a demonstration, the participants shout: "Abortion, contraception... reimbursed"!
