France's Bold Move: Embracing Abortion as a Constitutional Right
President Biden and the French Parliament have recently made public gestures celebrating abortion as a positive good, with Biden inviting a woman who sued in Texas to abort her unborn child to sit with the First Lady during his State of the Union address, and France enshrining the "guaranteed freedom" to have an abortion in its constitution. These developments mark a shift from the previous view of abortion as regrettable, and may have implications for abortion laws and public perception both in the U.S. and Europe.
