Governo Trump, 'archiviare il caso contro la pillola abortiva'

epa11276897 Dr. Ronald Yunis administers a Mifepristone pill for a patient to take at the Acacia Women's Center in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, 12 April 2024 (issued 13 April 2024). Mifepristone, when used together with Misoprostol, is used to end a pregnancy through ten weeks gestation. Patients take the first dose of Mifepristone in the office under doctor supervision, then take the remaining Misoprostol 24 hours later at home. Dr. Ronald Yunis was scheduled to perform 17 surgical abortions and four pill abortions at the clinic on 12 April. On 09 April 2024, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that an 1864 abortion law, which pre-dates Arizona's statehood and provides no exceptions for rape or incest and allows abortions after six weeks only if the mother's life is in jeopardy, was enforceable. The opinion by Arizona's highest court suggested doctors can be prosecuted under the 1864 law, with the risk of 2-5 years jail time. Fourteen other US states have banned nearly all abortions since the US Supreme Court in 2022 overturned the constitutional right to abortion. Dr. Yunis doesn't know when the law will take effect and how long it will stay in place before it could be repealed. He says it is hard because he doesn't know what to tell women when they are trying to schedule their appointments. Right now, they have to come in and have the procedure as soon as possible, since any day now they may no longer be able to, he says. EPA/ALLISON DINNER ATTENTION: This Image is part of a PHOTO SET
