An interruption of pregnancy can be spontaneous, therapeutic (therapeutic abortion) or voluntary (IVG) and can be a complex experience. In Italy, it is a right protected by Law 194, which provides for safe medical assistance, listening and emotional support. The first step is to contact the office or your general practitioner: they will guide you in the most suitable times and places.
If you encounter obstacles or objecting personnel, ask for an alternative right away: the hospital or office must grant you access to the procedure. After an interruption, even spontaneous, you have the right to a follow-up interview or psychological support. It's not just a medical issue: it's also an emotional passage that deserves treatment.
