France's Macron pledges to make abortion rights 'irreversible'

French President Emmanuel Macron plans to enshrine abortion rights in the country's constitution to ensure their permanence. A draft proposal will be presented to the State Council, aiming to establish constitutional abortion rights by the end of the year. This move is a response to the rollback of federal abortion rights in the United States and aligns with a promise made by Macron on International Women's Day. France decriminalized abortion in 1975, and a recent opinion poll shows strong support for making abortion rights a part of the constitution.
