So, the Vatican came out today & said that the Medical Doctor's Paper was fraudulent. The Doctors returned that that is an insult.
So, the Pope chimed in to restate the position (all fetuses be saved), and to influence the upcoming elections against the Left-Wing party.
Walter Veltroni (ex-Mayor of Rome who is running for Prime Minister as head of the Democratic Party) continued repeating that Italy is a secular state.
No news on what happened to the woman and police in Naples.

I'll keep my eyes peeled,

I'll keep my eyes peeled, but, you'll be glad to know that what transpired in Naples has gone to the highest levels of government, with most politicians and the Ministry of Health stating that the law will be untouched and the people responsible will be punished (although the local prosecutor in Naples who gave the go ahead will most likely stay in his place).

Thanks for sharing this information. Can you send us links to any news or human rights organizations who are following this situation?

Horrifying

That makes me sick. Can you imagine police storming in during any procedure performed on men (say, a vasectomy?) and having anyone consider it acceptable? This is just another outrage emanating from forcing people to live under the rules of one particular religious belief.
