Abstract
Recently, talking about abortion, the Pope has spoken harshly regarding the role played by non-objecting doctors. The article discusses: 1) the ethical and health aspects that the denial of the right to terminate pregnancy entails; 2) the positive results obtained by non-objecting doctors 50 years after the implementation of Law no. 194/1978, in terms of safeguarding women's health and guaranteeing the implementation of a state law.

Giunta ormai al sessantesimo anno, Recenti Progressi in Medicina continua a costituire un sicuro punto di riferimento ed uno strumento di lavoro fondamentale per l"ampliamento dell"orizzonte culturale del medico italiano. Recenti Progressi in Medicina è una rivista di medicina interna. Ciò significa il recupero di un"ottica globale e integrata, idonea ad evitare sia i particolarismi della informazione specialistica sia la frammentazione di quella generalista.
