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?

Why did you post this under 'politics'?

@swirlie It's a political issue in many places.

When does it become an abortion issue then?

@swirlie I'm not sure I understand the question.

The OP's question surrounding abortion, ended up in the political section probably because as you say, "it's a political issue in many places".

My question to the OP was, why their question was placed in the political section when the true issue behind their post was abortion itself, not the political aspects that surround abortion?

The reason I say this is because the OP made it very clear what their issue is with abortion, meaning they posted a very biased topic, biased in the sense that they are obviously 'anti-abortion' themselves.
