    France enshrines 'freedom' to abortion in Constitution, in world first
    A joint session of Parliament voted to adopt a constitutional reform to protect the 'freedom of women to voluntarily terminate a pregnancy, which is guaranteed.'

      Good for them. Make it a law so there's no confusion.

      I assume the 14 week ban in still in place.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        I would assume so too. But Le Monde prints this blurb:

        The decision by the US Supreme Court to strip women of the right to abortion has reverberated across Europe's political landscape, forcing the issue back into public debate in France at a time of political upheaval.

        Which is of course nonsense. Perhaps they should rename themselves Le Merde.

          And that's the narrative. Your comment about renaming the paper is spot-on.

            They neglected to mention exactly what that right entitles French women to.

              How is that nonsense?

              Thank you for your attention to this matter.
