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?

Hey, so I'm responding to your last question here because @sree251 was just getting too hateful, and I ended up reporting them.

Regarding your question, I am opposed to interfering with abortion rights at all. End of story. This is because there are numerous legitimate procedures categorized as abortions. The removal of a dead fetus or embryo, for example, legally counts as an abortion. Terminating an ectopic pregnancy which would ultimately end in death for both baby and mother is legally categorized as an abortion.

This does not mean I agree with people who use abortions as a form of birth control because they just didn't want to use a condom, but if you believe in an eternal reward / punishment system, then presumably you believe they will be punished for that in the end, anyway, without interfering.

@LordShadowfire Why would you report him? He is the most sane and intelligent user on this site.

I didn't say anything about interfering with nonexistent rights. What I said is that abortion is not constitutional in the US. Texas is a state where the majority oppose abortion. Why do you want to force them to have it? And why do you want to force Arizona, where opinion is split, to have it?
