Breaking News: France voted to explicitly enshrine access to abortion in its Constitution, making it the first country in the world to do so. The impulse for the change was the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022.

NOT the first. Yugoslavia had it in its 1974 constitution; after it fell apart, Slovenia kept it in theirs (while the other states, shamefully, left it out of theirs). Which is to say, Slovenia has had it enshrined in its constitution since 1974. 🇸🇮

Someone from France should have smuggled a ‘how to do human rights’ manual into the statute of Liberty for someone to discover down the track in America. Oui?

They DIDN'T make it a RIGHT. They made it a LIBERTY because, in our law there is no obligation for the government to guarantee access to it. If they decided to only open the centers 1x a year, it would still respect the constitution's phrasing.

Now we all have a reason to visit La France. What's some abortion bounty hunter from Texas going to do, sue a hospital administrator in (name your lovely French town) on Governor Let-em-drown's say-so? (Yes, I'm quite aware not everyone can do this. That's why we donate to host-family efforts too).
