Including the right to abortion in the Constitution is only a “political diversion” for Marine Le Pen.

The president of the National Rally group in the National Assembly castigated the majority's proposal on Wednesday, on franceinfo, while specifying that the RN has "never questioned access to abortion".

En Marche "does not want the focus to be on the main concerns of French people today and their difficulties, which is purchasing power, which is security, which is uncontrolled immigration", denounced Marine Le Pen, considering that “the right to abortion is not questioned by anyone”.


“We have never questioned access to abortion”

The leader of the RN was also questioned about the positions taken by several RN deputies comparing abortion to genocide.

“There is a political movement, this political movement determines a political line which is voted by the members, it is me who has carried it for 10 years, she explained.

The line of the movement is very clear: we have never questioned access to abortion”.

"Everyone can have their opinion on subjects which are sensitive subjects, subjects of society, which I have always said, moreover, that they should be settled by referendum", continued Marine Le Pen.

“That there are people who are not happy to see that there are still 200,000 abortions a year in France is not open to criticism, no one can be happy about that,” she added. .

Marine Le Pen will leave "freedom to vote" to elected RN

A constitutional revision on the subject?

" Why not ?

But if we open a constitutional revision, we have a lot to put into it, we will want to integrate the rights of foreigners, we will want to integrate the abolition of the right of the land, we will want to integrate the modification of the conditions of access to nationality French, we would like to integrate the superiority of the Constitution over international texts, ”replied the MP for Pas-de-Calais.

In an interview with the newspaper

Le Figaro

published on Wednesday, Marine Le Pen specifies that if there were to be a vote in Parliament, she would leave elected RNs “in the Hemicycle freedom to vote.

Even if I know that the quasi-unanimity of the deputies will vote on the line of the movement, ”she adds.

Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne visited the family planning headquarters on Wednesday to recall "the importance of protecting the right and access to abortion in France", three days after the announcement of a proposal to enshrine it in the Constitution, in reaction to the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States to torpedo this right.
