Often in our world, who is no longer accustomed to reading, an image, a cartoon, a photo speaks more than articles or theological treatises.

America sempre più 'pro life', arrivano nuove restrizioni sull'aborto
by

Many states are ready to follow President Donald Trump's directions, always committed to promoting birth rates.
The United States rediscovers itself "pro life". The novelty of this 2019 seems to be that of an American community increasingly opposed to abortion and ready to support policies that disfavor voluntary terminations of pregnancy. The appeal made in this sense by the president of the republic Donald Trump, during his State of the Union address earlier this year, seems to have been successful.
Last Thursday in Ohio (Republican-led state) a law has come into force that provides for new restrictions on abortion. The pregnancy can no longer be terminated after the fetus's first heartbeat, which usually coincides with the first six weeks of gestation. Doctors who violate this law will face the risk of a year in prison and fines 2500 to 20 thousand dollars.
But Ohio is not a completely isolated case. Similar new provisions in favor of the birth rate would be in the works other states led by Republican governors, like Tennessee, he Texas, Georgia, Mississippi and Kentucky.
