The Senate is examining this Wednesday the bill aimed at enshrining in the Constitution the freedom to resort to voluntary termination of pregnancy.

Gérard Larcher, for his part, defends that the Constitution must not become “a catalog of social rights”.

The left and the Macronist elected officials will vote for it.
