France makes history by becoming the first country in 50 years to establish abortion as a constitutional right. In a decisive vote of 780-72, both houses of parliament approved the amendment, emphasizing women's freedom over their bodies. President Macron hailed the move as a new freedom guaranteed in the constitution, contrasting with US rollbacks on abortion rights. The decision aims to safeguard women's reproductive rights amid global trends of restricting abortion access. The constitutional revision sets France apart in the global reproductive rights debate, signaling a landmark victory for women's autonomy.
