France's Senate passed a corresponding bill. Both chambers of Parliament are expected to meet next week to amend the constitution accordingly.
86 percent of French people support its inclusion in the constitution. Abortion with a medical certificate is legally guaranteed in France up to the 14th week. Last year, around 234,000 abortions were carried out in France. The bill now presented mentions the “freedom to” but not the ‘right to’ an abortion, which is a legally weaker formulation.
