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?

I'll just observe for an institution founded by explicitly (and devoutly) Catholic individuals, having the right to slaughter one's own children enshrined in EU constitutional documents seems somewhat ill-fitting...

@Persephonee It does seem out of place. My reasons are not religiously based, but I can recognize the issue from a religious perspective.

@Persephonee Judging by your distorted and emotionally charged language, as well as your use of blatantly inaccurate terms, I can guess which side of the argument you're on.
