Q: Senate votes in favor of “freedom to abortion”
In France, the right to an abortion is enshrined in law. Now the "freedom to have an abortion" is to be given (symbolic) constitutional status. The Senate has already voted in favor.
Next week, both chambers of parliament are to meet to amend the constitution accordingly. The inclusion is more of a symbolic nature.
In 2022, 86% of the French voted in favor of its inclusion in the constitution.
Health insurance covers costs
The government under President Emmanuel Macron introduced a bill to this effect in December. Both chambers of parliament had voted in favor of enshrining the right to abortion in the constitution.
Abortions up to the tenth week of pregnancy have been exempt from punishment in France since 1975. Pregnant women in France can now have an abortion up to the 14th week and the costs are covered by health insurance.
