"Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni’s far-right-led government scored a victory Tuesday with the Senate approving a law allowing anti-abortion groups access to women considering ending their pregnancies.

The Senate, where the government has a majority, voted 95-68, giving final approval to legislation tied to European Union COVID-19 recovery funds that included an amendment sponsored by Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party. The law, already passed by the lower Chamber of Deputies, allows regions to permit groups 'with a qualified experience supporting motherhood' to have access to public support centers where...more

"A government decree from February 1968 was enacted to combat falling birth rates in Bulgaria by severely restricting abortions. Approval by a special medical board was required to perform most abortions, and they were generally banned for childless women with very strict medical exceptions.
