The president of the RN deputies, Marine Le Pen, underlined on Tuesday her opposition to the proposals of the macronists and LFI to constitutionalize the voluntary termination of pregnancy.
These requests "clearly disrupt the balance that existed on this issue," she said.
“Hell is paved with good intentions,” writes the far-right official in a press release, released two days before the examination of the LFI proposal on the subject.
"Although opposed to the extension of the deadline for resorting to an abortion to 14 weeks as voted a few months ago", Marine Le Pen "considers that we must preserve the current balance and not engrave in our supreme text a provision which would lead to an increase or even the disappearance of deadlines and which could also call into question the existing conscience clause for medical personnel, ”says the presidential finalist, taking up arguments contested by the majority and the left.
🖋 At a time when the French are affected by multiple crises, it seems offbeat to open a debate which, if it exists in the United States, does not exist in France, no political force considering causes access to abortion.

In addition, "it seems completely offbeat to open a debate which, if it exists in the United States, does not exist in France, no political force considering questioning access to abortion “, she continues.
LFI denounces "anti-democratic obstruction"
Faced with LFI's proposal, which wants to include in the Constitution that "no one can infringe the right to voluntary termination of pregnancy and contraception", the RN group alternates between strategy of obstruction with several off-topic amendments, particularly against immigration, and a balancing act on this sensitive subject within its ranks.
Despite her opposition to the LFI and Renaissance texts, Marine Le Pen thus proposes to include in the preamble of the Constitution the attachment of the French people to the law in force concerning abortion, by a technical reference to the provisions of the Health Code. public.
However, this Code may be modified.

For its part, La France insoumise denounced "anti-democratic obstruction" on its texts on the agenda on Thursday, with a total of 233 amendments on the proposal to constitutionalize abortion and 566 amendments on the one aimed at to ban bullfighting, especially from the RN and LR.
