Jérôme Roux is a professor of public law at the University of Montpellier. He says that including the right to abortion in the fundamental law could threaten other constitutional rights and freedoms, such as freedom of conscience.
The first constitutional revision in more than fifteen years was approved by an overwhelming majority, much higher than that required by three-fifths of the votes cast. It resulted from an inconsistent exploitation of the law, at the highest level of the hierarchy of norms, by ideology, says Roux.
