With 267 votes in favor and 50 against, the Sénat voted in favor of constitutionalizing abortion. Wednesday's vote came after the Assemblée Nationale, overwhelmingly approved the proposal in January. The measure now goes before a joint session of Parliament for its expected approval by a three-fifths majority next week.

"[The right to abortion] is no longer a battle, now it's a victory, it's an extraordinary message that France has just sent," said Green Senator Mélanie Vogel. "To the French women and men who massively called for the constitutionalization of abortion, to all the women who have lived through the horror of the criminalization of abortion, to all the women who never want to experience it."

As cool as it sounds it is not guaranteed for frenchs residents to acess abortion.

Clinics, planned parenthood, pharmacies are defunded "en même temps" as our great leader likes to said.

So yeah no one could no more prosecute a woman or a health worker for this and it is cool but that is far from what was asked.

What !!? Women could always get an abortion, they put it in the constitution to avoid the USA craziness coming over to France.

No one is being sued over this and women can carry on doing as they wish.

The problem with medical fund is another issue unrelated to this one.

Not having anywhere to have a safe procedure outside big cities is not what I call "allway"

It is the reason cuckservatives voted this text

I don't think you live in France. I never heard of anyone having trouble getting an abortion in France.
