As the first country to include the right to an abortion in its constitution, France has made history. The constitutional amendment was overwhelmingly approved (780 votes in favor, 72 against) during a historic joint parliamentary session. This landmark decision represents a major advancement in women's reproductive rights by explicitly extending the protection of their right to choose an abortion within the confines of the law to Article 34 of the French Constitution.
