A hundred activists of the "Manif pour tous", opposed to the opening of the PMA to all women and to the GPA gathered Sunday before the National Assembly in Paris for a "happening", on the occasion of International Women's Rights Day.

Shopping carts filled with plastic babies
"Women are neither for sale nor for rent, not for an hour, not for nine months," launched one of the leaders of the movement "La Manif pour Tous", Ludovine de la Rochère. A column of a hundred young girls, dressed in black with cockade and Phrygian cap of Marianne, pushed caddies filled with plastic babies and counterfeit banknotes to the rhythm, noted an AFP journalist. "Stop the business of procreation", could be read on these posts.
"It's a symbolic day"
Activists of the Manif pour tous oppose the Gestation pour Autrui (GPA), prohibited in France, and the extension of medically assisted procreation (PMA) "without father". The bioethics bill, whose flagship measure opens the MQP to single women and couples, was adopted at first reading in the Senate in February. In April, a second reading of the text is planned in the National Assembly, then in May in the Senate.
"It is a symbolic day and we are here to say how much this project is against women," said the Manif pour tous.
