"France's Historic Vote: Abortion Rights Enshrined in Constitution"

French lawmakers are expected to approve a historic move to enshrine the right to abortion in the country's constitution, making France the first country in the world to explicitly protect this right in its basic law. The decision comes after overwhelming public support and President Emmanuel Macron's pledge to safeguard abortion rights following the US Supreme Court's 2022 decision. The move is expected to receive the necessary majority in a joint session of parliament, with strong backing from the public and left-wing and centrist politicians.
