France's Senate has approved a bill to add a woman's right to abortion to the country's constitution. This follows a similar move by the National Assembly in January. President Emmanuel Macron supports the measure, aiming to make abortion rights irreversible amid concerns over changes in the United States. The amendment specifies that the law determines conditions for abortion. The government argues that abortion rights are under threat globally. With both houses of parliament supporting the bill, final approval is expected in a joint session next week.
