The President of the Senate Gérard Larcher (LR) declared himself on Tuesday January 23 opposed to the inclusion of abortion in the Constitution, a promise from Emmanuel Macron which will be debated in the Assembly on Wednesday before being then examined by the Senate.
“
Abortion is not threatened in our country (...) I think that the Constitution is not a catalog of social and societal rights

With a view to possible adoption by the Congress of Parliament in early March, the constitutional revision project must be voted on in the same terms by the National Assembly and the Senate.
