The Senate has given the green light to the inclusion of the right to voluntary termination of pregnancy in the French Constitution.
A historic and not obvious decision, given the majority of centrists and right-wing senators.
The green light is without any changes to the text approved by the Assemblée Nationale.
There will therefore be no new examination before the Houses of Congress meet next week.
"I am committed to making women's freedom to resort to voluntary termination of pregnancy (IVG) irreversible by inscribing it in the Constitution. After the National Assembly, the Senate takes a decisive step which I welcome. For the final vote, I will convene the Parliament in Congress on March 4": the French president, Emmanuel Macron, wrote this in a message published on X.
