France to enshrine abortion right in constitution

France is set to enshrine the right to abortion in its constitution, making it a fundamental right for all women in the country. This move comes as a significant step towards ensuring reproductive rights and gender equality in France.

The decision to include the right to abortion in the constitution was made after a long and heated debate in the French parliament. Supporters of the move argue that it is essential to protect women’s rights and autonomy, while opponents claim that it goes against their beliefs and values.

Abortion has been legal in France since 1975, but by adding it to the constitution, the government is sending a strong message about the importance of reproductive rights. This decision is seen as a victory for women’s rights activists and a major step forward in the fight for gender equality.

France’s move to enshrine the right to abortion in its constitution is likely to inspire other countries to follow suit and prioritize reproductive rights as a fundamental human right.
