The French senate has decided to enhance abortion rights in the constitution. Currently in France, there has been a law against this since 1975. Emmanuel Macron said in an interview “I am committed to making women’s freedom to have an abortion irreversible by enshrining it in the constitution”.
This has been a law due to the study of abortion not being known as well as other studies for doctors. Eastern Europe has introduced restrictions on abortion. The law determines the conditions under which the freedom is guaranteed to a woman to resort to voluntarily terminating a pregnancy.
There are a total of 22 countries that have banned abortion. In 2023, abortion was authorized on request in 77 countries and in 12 countries for broad socio-economic reasons. However, these figures must be considered with caution. The goal with this law is to have it go farther than it already is. Some countries allude to the right.
The proposal to France was approved earlier by the lower house, the National Assembly, was backed by 267 votes to 50. Abortion has been legal in France since 1974 but pressure has grown to further cement it in law. Last month it voted again to back the freedom to have an abortion after Mr .Macron's government called for Article 34 of the constitution to be amended to cite "the freedom of women to have recourse to an abortion, which is guaranteed". None of the country's main political parties question the right to abortion but the language used in the amendment was revised after the 2022 vote, when the National Assembly endorsed the "right" to abortion. This new right to termination is possibly being enrolled in Poland and the US.
