  • France has become the first country in the world to include the right to abortion in its Constitution.
  • This decision has broad support from 58% of French citizens.
  • The inclusion of abortion in the Constitution is seen as a shield against possible future changes in political majorities.
  • There are doubts as to the need for this inclusion, as the right to abortion has been gradually extended through various reforms.
  • The decision also has implications for other rights, such as religious freedom, as it blocks the possibility of such beliefs influencing public policies.

Conclusion: The decision to include abortion in the Constitution closes the legal debate, but not necessarily the ideological debate, providing protection against future political variations but raising questions about the exclusion of political debate.
