France to enshrine abortion right in constitution

France is set to become the latest country to enshrine the right to abortion in its constitution. The move comes as part of a broader push to protect reproductive rights and gender equality.

The French government announced that it will include provisions guaranteeing the right to abortion in a revision of the country’s constitution. The decision is seen as a major step forward for women’s rights in France, and a victory for reproductive rights advocates.

Abortion has been legal in France since 1975, but there have been growing concerns about access to abortion services in recent years. By enshrining the right to abortion in the constitution, the French government hopes to ensure that women have access to safe and legal abortion services, regardless of their circumstances.

The move has been welcomed by women’s rights organizations and activists, who see it as a crucial step towards ensuring gender equality and reproductive rights for all women in France.
