France is on the verge of amending its constitution to explicitly guarantee the right to abortion. The parliamentary congress, scheduled at the Palace of Versailles, is expected to finalize the bill after overcoming hurdles in the Senate. If approved, France will be the only country worldwide with constitutional protection for the right to terminate pregnancies. President Macron's commitment to this constitutional change stems from the 2022 US Supreme Court decision that allowed states to restrict abortion. The move reflects France's resolve to solidify and defend reproductive rights in response to evolving global legal dynamics.
