Macron Demands French Lawmakers ‘Enshrine’ the ‘Freedom’ of Abortion in the Constitution

With his largely unexpected intrusion into the abortion debate, Emmanuel Macron appears more and more as the most 'pro-death' head of state in French history.

PARIS (LifeSiteNews) — Emmanuel Macron, France’s childless president, wants the “freedom to abort” to be inscribed in the Constitution and said as much during a national ceremony of tribute to Gisèle Halimi, a figurehead of the pro-abortion movement, on Wednesday.

Macron, who is also promoting the legalization of euthanasia in France, committed to having his government present a draft law to that end within the coming months, which would amount to fast-tracking current parliamentary initiatives and giving them the added weight of his presidential support.

To date, the French National Assembly approved the move to make the “right” to abortion constitutional, and early in February the Senate modified the text initially presented by members of the lower chamber by replacing the word “right” by “freedom,” thereby unexpectedly obtaining a majority vote in favor when everyone was expecting the initiative to be rejected.

Coming as it did from members of Parliament, the proposed revision of the Constitution would have needed to be approved by referendum. As a law presented by the executive, the constitutional revision promoted by Macron will be much easier to achieve, merely requiring a three-fifths majority in a joint vote by the National Assembly and the Senate. Given the language chosen by Macron (“freedom” to abort as opposed to the “right” to access abortion) the risk of a vote in favor of his plan is high.

With his largely unexpected intrusion into the abortion debate, Macron appears more and more as the most “pro-death” head of state in French history. Even the sanguinary revolutionaries such as Robespierre and Carnot under the “Terreur” never reached his level of despisal for innocent human life.

Sounds more like you’re “enshrining” the murder of French children trying to be born in your toilet paper Constitution.
