VATICAN crry (NC) The Italian bishops have said at the end of a plenary assembly that the Church "has not surrendered and cannot surrender" on the issue of liberalised abortion In Italy. The Italian Parliament on May 18 passed a law permitting abortion in the first three months of pregnancy. Abortions costs are to be paid by the State. The bishops' statement also said that doctors and hospital support personnel had a duty to declare that they would not participate in abortions, in line with a "conscience clause" contained in the law. The bishops restated in strong terms that abortion was killing. The Italian Bishops' Conference met at the Vatican May 22.26 to discuss social and religious issues, including abortion and the vocation crisis.
