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'm really happy for France. It's a very smart political move, United States is going back to developing world status because the new laws that America has been putting into place mirror some of the worst economic countries laws around the world regarding high maternal deaths and all cause mortality.

If every developed world was smart, they'll go the opposite direction to take advantage of the weakening status from draconian laws and try to prop themselves up further.

@SatanBurger Why do you want to force unwilling states to facilitate abortion? America has liberty, and you have no appreciation of it.

@SW-User I'm not trying to get into the oppression Olympics with you. My observation is simply that above. You're talking about France, France is making a smart political move as America will be going into developing world status. It's only natural. It's simply observation.

@SatanBurger You have a strange view of what makes a country "smart" and "developed." Can you expound further? What does abortion have to do with the economy?

Do you think the US is going to become poor because states can determine their abortion laws? Let's not pretend here; you can say you just like abortion.
