ummm....is it just me or is the validity of this article questionable insofar that the newest statistics it reports are 13 years old (i.e. from 1999). The article is supposed to relate the current status of abortion in Italy, not a historical review of what once was. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.97.118.2 (talk) 01:59, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There do seem to be plenty of more recent statistics available, for example: [1] --91.209.142.224 (talk) 12:48, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As of 4/7/2016, reference links are broken. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.96.79.126 (talk) 11:29, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Abortion rate

This section is full of unsourced figures, starting with the astounding claim that less then 1 % of Italian pregnancies end in abortion. --Hjordmån (talk) 05:58, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The number was altered twice [2] [3] first to 993, then 1 abortion per 1000 live births. Later, someone adjusted 1 to 9.8 per 1000 births, below 1 percent. These edits could be in good faith, but if so they had crappy sources. Probably at the moment, it would be better to just throw out huge chunks of unsouced text. --Hjordmån (talk) 21:06, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I started making sense of it, I think the author(s) confused the abortion rate per 1,000 live births vs the abortion rate per 1,000 women in fertile age. I still think most of the statistics that I left unchanged make little to no sense. --Broc (talk) 12:39, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What does this mean?

This is not a sentence, but I also don't understand what point is supposed to be meant here:

"The Christian Democratic Party had governed Italy since 1948, together with the Italian Communist Party's interpretation of the importance of Catholicism for any analysis of the balance of forces."
