The Assembly validates the inclusion of “guaranteed freedom” of recourse to abortion in the Constitution. The Assembly supported by 493 deputies against 30.
All left-wing elected officials and almost all of the majority and the independent Liot group voted for. On the right, the LR group was divided between 40 for, 15 against and four abstentions. Some are also concerned about possible extensions of the legal duration for an abortion or challenges to the conscience clause of caregivers refusing to practice it.
