Coronavirus : In France, professionals look to extend legal abortion time limit
France24 ^ | April 2, 2020

Since the lockdown was imposed in France on March 17, the hotline of the organisation Family Planning – responsible for answering questions on sexuality, contraception and abortion – has been inundated.

"On the other end of the line, the majority of women have just taken pregnancy tests and found out they are pregnant," Sarah Durocher, national co-president of Family Planning, told FRANCE 24. "They're worried. They're wondering whether they can have an abortion during the period of confinement."

The government, for its part, has taken emergency measures. It said on March 23 that it had classified abortions as "urgent interventions" to ensure that they would continue to be performed.

But there have been numerous calls to Family Planning, evidence that that information hasn't been clear during the past two weeks.

"Some women think they don't have access to abortion – wrongly!" Durocher said. "Abortions are not suspended during quarantine. The professionals continue their work. If a woman is pregnant and the pregnancy is unwanted, she can go to a doctor's office, to a midwife or to a health centre that performs abortions."

If women are calling more, they are moving less. They're coming in for fewer abortions than they were before the lockdown, abortion practitioners have observed.

"Young women are afraid to go out and our consultations are decreasing," Ghada Hatem, an ob-gyn and the founder of the Saint-Denis Women's Centre, told France Inter.

Strictly technicalities. Why not just let them kill the child after it’s born? The child will never know what they’re doing to them. Just let them have a year or so to “legally” murder them.

Sheesh... All this quibbling around for what? So they can feel better about themselves for what they’re doing? These radical child murdering tyrants do not have a conscience, so what difference is it going to make at what stage of the child’s life they are conveniently done away with.

The child is simply a problem that has to be made to go away. They’re not fooling me one bit. Legalese, shmegalese

They will keep pushing it.

Right up to 9 months.

Of course they cannot stop, so, 10 months, 11 months, etc., to infinity.
