A referendum in France could soon ask whether abortion should become a constitutional right
With a large majority of 337 votes for and 32 against, the lower house of the French parliament approved a daft law which would enshrine abortion rights in the Constitution.
The text says that “no one can infringe the right to voluntary termination of pregnancy and contraception”. The law will now be submitted to the Senate.
A referendum would be the last step to make abortion a constitutional right in France.
