Jessica Yellin Instagram – FRANCE PROTECTS ABORTION IN CONSTITUTION
France became the first country to enshrine abortion access explicitly in its constitution. Legislators voted on a constitutional amendment recognizing abortion as a “guaranteed freedom.” This means future legislators won’t be able to “drastically modify” France’s standing abortion access laws.
French PM Gabriel Attal said of the vote, “We are sending the message to all women: your body belongs to you and no one has the right to control it in your stead.” The push to add a constitutional amendment protecting abortion began as a direct result of SCOTUS overturning Roe v Wade in 2022. | Posted on 05/Mar/2024 01:13:34
