In France, a bill containing a single article on the inclusion of the right to abortion in the constitution was passed by the Congress.
Publika.az reports that the abortion rights bill was approved by 780 votes to 72 in Congress.
French President Emmanuel Macron said in his social media account that he wants to mention the “constitutional guarantee”.
With the adoption of the law, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said that “France has given a historic message to the world” and said that women have the right to have a say over their own bodies.
After the adoption of the law, the text “My body is my choice” was projected on the Eiffel Tower, one of the symbols of the capital.
It should be noted that the bill containing one article on the inclusion of the right to abortion in the French Constitution was adopted by the National Assembly on January 30, and by the Senate on February 28. In France, women can legally have an abortion up to the 14th week of pregnancy. With the approval of the bill, France became “the first country to constitutionalize the right to abortion.”
