Macron Pledges to Enshrine ‘Freedom of Abortion’ in French Constitution
Emmanuel Macron has vowed to alter the French constitution to enshrine in it the “freedom of abortion” by next year.
Macron said that his government will submit a draft text of the changes to France’s highest administrative court over the next week.
“Based on the work of parliamentarians and associations, the draft constitutional law will be sent to the Council of State this week and presented to the Council of Ministers by the end of the year,” Macron said in French in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, according to a machine translation.
Fondé sur le travail des parlementaires et des associations, le projet de loi constitutionnelle sera envoyé au Conseil d’État cette semaine et présenté en Conseil des ministres d’ici la fin de l’année.
