(ANSA) - Rome, March 26 - League leader and Interior
Minister Matteo Salvini said Italy's abortion law would not
change amid a row with government partner the 5-Star Movement
(M5S) after 40 League MPs filed a bill to make the unborn child
a "legal subject".
"Non-existent polemics. We safeguard Italian families. But
divorce, abortion and equal rights between men and women,
freedom of choice for all are not in question," said Salvini
after an outcry from M5S members including Minister for the
South Barbara Lezzi who said "there is no room for revising the
abortion law".
The row was linked to an upcoming League-linked World
Conference of Families in Verona which has a pro-life,
anti-feminist and ultraconservative agenda.
