Women in France rejoice over enshrined right to abortion

This week, women in France celebrated the newly enshrined right to abort their children.

The US was able to recognize that this right is not constitutional, and could only be if you rewrite the constitution. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned in June 2022, states have been able to decide their own abortion laws.

French president said: "we're sending a message to all women: your body belongs to you and no one can decide for you."

He added he "will not rest" until abortion is introduced to the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights. In a speech during the ceremony to mark this now constitutional right, he declared this is "freedom, a fight made up of tears, tragedies and broken destinies."

Yes, there are many broken destinies. They are broken because they were taken by abortion.

The Eiffel Tower lit up with the words "#My bodyMychoice." Women in France believe that this is a "victory."

Victory for whom, I wonder?

Funny that I suggested to change the Constitution back four days ago. When this happened .

Same same was done in the 1920s with the right to vote for women.

If it needs to be done, then do it!

The statue of Liberty SYMBOLIZES women's rights! And was it was given by the French because of that in the 1880s. I suppose you want to tear it down because of the that!

The 1840s was when womens suffrage started! And passed in 1920! That's over 70 years they were fighting for the right to vote!

We CAN change the Constitution! And it's been done a few times since then. 1992 with the 27th amendment!

Oh right, you must be able to change your own pay rate! But not give the right to a woman over her own body!

This will NOT stop until womens right to her own body is written in the constitution! That's how it's completely covered! That literally covers everything. Abortion, Contraception and even IVF!

Just one simple amendment! Not even as difficult as given yourself a pay raise!
