Due to the changed text, the bill will now have to go back to the National Assembly.
PARIS (LifeSiteNews) — The French Senate voted in favor of a constitutional amendment that seeks to enshrine access to abortion into the country’s constitution.
The legislation was passed by a 166 to 152 vote on February 1 in the upper house of France’s parliament, the French newspaper Le Monde reports.
The amendment seeks to insert “the freedom of women to terminate their pregnancies” into the French constitution. This represents a change from the bill passed in the French National Assembly (the lower house of the French parliament) in November 2022. The original text of the proposed legislation sought to introduce a “right to abortion” whereas the new text speaks only of the “freedom” to have an abortion. The proposed law was adopted by an amendment put forth by Senator Philippe Bas of the conservative Les Républicains party, who presented it as a compromise.
Due to the changed text, the bill will now have to go back to the National Assembly. If it were to pass there, a referendum would be held to decide whether or not the legislation will become a part of the French constitution.
Socialist Senator Laurence Rossignol’s remarks showed that the legislation was meant to protect so-called “abortion rights” in case a less pro-abortion government ever came to power in France.
