A joint session of Parliament voted to adopt a constitutional reform to protect the ‘freedom of women to voluntarily terminate a pregnancy, which is guaranteed.’ The move was designed as a response to the US Supreme Court overturning the federal right to abortion in 2022.
France’s Parliament approved a bill to enshrine a woman’s right to an abortion in the Constitution in a historic vote on Monday, March 4, as lawmakers gathered for a joint session of Parliament at the Palace of Versailles. The bill was approved in an overwhelming 780-72 vote, and nearly the entire joint session stood in a long standing ovation.
The constitutional reform amends Article 34 of the French Constitution to specify that “the law determines the conditions by which is exercised the freedom of women to voluntarily terminate a pregnancy, which is guaranteed.”
Eat a pile of rocks prolifers.
You’re hypocritical when you’re not in favour: of universal school lunches, safety regulations, abolition of the death penalty and veganism.
“but think of the babies”
school children: im hungry
“fuck off”
Calling them prolifers is giving them too much credit. They are anti abortionists. Most of them don’t care about life.
Why don’t people spin the tag on these guys? Prolife is horribly incorrect, what they are defending is more regulations and bigger government snooping into personal matters.
Anti-choice
I may be out of the loop but what has veganism do to with that?

And make updates which… make the constituents lives better?
American constitution wasnt updated since it was written?
The most recent update was over 30 years ago, and it was basically “don’t let Congress give themselves pay raises during the current session”. It basically means they get the raise if/when re-elected, instead. It’s moot, because many make their real money in insider trading and “campaign contributions”. That only took ~200 years from when it was first proposed…
Way to go France!
