Italy abortion row as woman dies after hospital miscarriage
20 October 2016 Europe
Italian prosecutors have begun an inquiry into the death after a miscarriage of a woman of 32 who was pregnant with twins.
The family of Valentina Milluzzo said the doctor treating her refused to abort the foetuses because he was a "conscientious objector" to abortion.
The hospital involved has categorically rejected the family's claims.
The woman's burial has been postponed while further investigations are carried out.
