In Rome, you will find many health care resources. You need a prescription to obtain birth control pills, but you can find condoms with no prescription required. Emergency contraception (the morning after pill) is available for purchase without a prescription (since 2015), which is a positive update after years of required prescriptions. You can get an STD/STI test at one of the many clinics in the city, and there are some nationwide support networks. Maternity leave of five months is required for all pregnant women who are employed. Abortion is legal during the first 90 days of gestation, and it's free for Italian citizens. Foreigners will need to pay for an abortion procedure. There are many health care professionals who do not provide abortions due to their moral or religious beliefs so, if you need an abortion, it is imperative to secure a physician who is willing to perform the procedure.

==Contraception d'urgence (pilule du lendemain)==
==Emergency Contraception (Morning After Pill)==


"Note importante": La contraception d'urgence peut prévenir la grossesse pendant trois jours (72heures) et parfois cinq jours (120heures) après le rapport non protegé. Prenez la pilule du lendemain aussi rapidemment que possible après le rapprot à risque. Si vous n'avez pas accès à la contraception d'urgence, les contraceptifs oraux peuvent être utilisés en guise de pilule du lendemain, mais n'oubliez pas ces indications: 1/ Seuls certains contraceptifs peuvent être utilisés en remplacement de la pilule du lendemain. 2/ Les différents contraceptifs oraux nécéssitent des dosages et temps de prise différents pour fonctionner comme contraception d'urgence. 3/ Vous ne devez utiliser que les 21 premières pilules dans ue plaquette de 28. 4/ Cette solution peut être moins efficace que les contraceptions d'urgence prévues à cette effet. Pour des informations générales sur la contraception d'urgence, cliquez [https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/morning-after-pill-emergency-contraception here] et [http://ec.princeton.edu/info/ecp.html here].
'''Important Notes:''' Emergency contraception may prevent pregnancy for three days (72 hours) and sometimes five days (120 hours) after unprotected sex. Take EC '''as soon as possible''' after unprotected sex. If you don't have access to dedicated EC, oral contraceptives can be used as replacement EC, but remember the following: 1) Only some contraceptives work as EC 2) Different contraceptives require different dosages and time schedules to work as EC 3) You must only use the first 21 pills in 28-day packs and 4) They may be less effective than dedicated EC. For general information on emergency contraceptives, click [https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/morning-after-pill-emergency-contraception here] and [http://ec.princeton.edu/info/ecp.html here].

En Italie, vous pouvez acheter deux pilules du lendemain sans ordonnance. LNG EC (comme Escapelle ou Norlevo 1.5mg) et UPA (comme ellaOne) sont maintenant disponibles au comptoir des pharmacies pour les femmes âgées d'au moins 18ans. Si vous voulez LNG EC, vous devrez l'obtenir chez un medecin (pas un pharmacien). Si vous voulez UPA EC, vous devez aller dans une pharmacie et spécifiquement demander au personnel de la pharmacie, car elle n'est pas en rayon. Aussi, si vous avez moins de 18ans, vous aurez besoin d'une ordonnance pour les acheter. En tous cas, vous devrez avoir une ordonnance pour toutes les marques d'EC. <ref>[http://www.ec-ec.org/emergency-contraception-in-europe/country-by-country-information-2/italy/#pub1 European Consortium for Emergency Contraception - Italy]</ref>  
In Italy, you can purchase two emergency contraceptive types (morning after pills) without a prescription. LNG EC (like Escapelle and NorLevo 1.5mg) and UPA EC (like ellaOne) are now available over-the-counter from pharmacies for women who are 18 years of age or older. If you want LNG EC, you must get it from a physician (not a pharmacist). If you want UPA EC, you must go to a pharmacy and specifically ask the pharmacy clerk for it, since it's not on the shelves. Also, if you're under 18 years old, you'll still need a prescription to purchase them. However, for all other EC brands, you do need a prescription. <ref>[http://www.ec-ec.org/emergency-contraception-in-europe/country-by-country-information-2/italy/#pub1 European Consortium for Emergency Contraception - Italy]</ref>  


This is a major improvement over past Italian laws, when all EC required a prescription. This caused much distress for women in the past, and you can read a personal account a foreign student's difficulties trying to access EC in the past [http://www.xojane.com/it-happened-to-me/i-was-refused-emergency-contraception-in-italy here]. Fortunately, since April 2015, UPA EC has been available over-the-counter, and since October 2015, LNG EC has been available over-the-counter.

* In Italy, you can purchase emergency contraception/the morning after pill ("pillola del giorno dopo" in Italian) at pharmacies. For many brands, you no longer need a prescription, which is a new update as of 2015. Some brands you can expect to see are ellaOne (this is an anti-progestin pill, and it's considered the most effective but it's a bit more expensive). There's also some progestin-only brands (which are cheaper but usually not effective after 3 days), such as Lonel, NorLevo 1.5mg, Unlevo 1500 and Levonelle. For all of these brands, you should take the pill as soon as possible after unprotected sex in order to prevent pregnancy. For more details about accessing these pills with or without prescriptions, see the section above ("Laws & Social Stigmas").
