Genoa's Mayor, Archbishop Headed For Clash On Abortion?

Genoa's Mayor Marta Vincenzi has threatened legal action against a hospital that has stopped providing abortion services.

In a letter to the Galliera Hospital, which ended abortions two months ago, the mayor said that health-care institutions have an obligation to provide legal services.

The head of the hospital’s administrative council is Genoa's Archbishop Angelo Bagnasco, the president of the Italian Bishops Conference.

The hospital’s statutes indicate that the Archbishop of Genoa is to head the institution.
