France makes abortion a constitutional right

France has officially made abortion a constitutional right, following a landmark ruling by the Constitutional Council. The decision was welcomed by women’s rights advocates who have long fought for the recognition of reproductive rights in the country.

The ruling, which was made on the basis of gender equality and the right to privacy, ensures that women in France have the legal right to access safe and legal abortions. The decision also sets a precedent for other countries in Europe and around the world to prioritize women’s reproductive rights.

This historic ruling comes after years of advocacy and debate surrounding abortion rights in France. Pro-choice activists have hailed the decision as a significant step towards gender equality and women’s autonomy over their own bodies.

With this new constitutional right in place, France now stands as a champion for reproductive rights in Europe, setting an example for other countries to follow suit. Women in France can now access safe and legal abortions without fear of legal repercussions, ensuring that they have full control over their reproductive choices.
