Forty years after the enactment of Law no. 194/78 that governs voluntary interruption of pregnancy, Italy has been experiencing difficulties guaranteeing that patients gain access to abortion procedures in a timely fashion. Conscientious objection detracts considerably from the very effectiveness of the law, as pointed out by major European institutions as well. Hence, the network of family planning and counselling centres needs to be expanded and supported; such institutions, in fact, may go a long way in ensuring that women make the best, informed decisions. The author has set out to deal with those issues by means of a comparative analysis. He believes that Italian lawmakers ought to follow in the footsteps of other European countries in order to balance the rights of objecting gynaecologists against those of women who choose to have an abortion, despite the relatively small number of doctors willing to carry out the procedure.

在意大利自愿终止怀孕的权利：在第1号法律颁布后的40年中盘算 194/1978。基于比较法的评论

颁布第40号法律后的40年。在关于自愿中断妊娠的194/78法规中，意大利一直在确保患者及时获得流产程序方面遇到困难。正如欧洲主要机构所指出的那样，出于良心拒服兵役会大大损害法律的效力。因此，需要扩大和支持计划生育和咨询中心网络。实际上，这样的机构在确保妇女做出最佳，明智的决定方面可能要走很长的路。作者已经着手通过比较分析来解决这些问题。
