Emmanuel Macron Pledges To Make Abortion A Basic Right In Europe

Emmanuel Macron spoke as hot wax was sealed to a constitutional amendment to formerly inscribe the right to abortion.

French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday said France would not rest until the right to abortion, now protected by the French constitution in a world first, was guaranteed in the EU's rights charter and around the globe.

Macron spoke as hot wax was sealed to a constitutional amendment to formerly inscribe the right to abortion.

The ceremony on International Woman's Day came after parliament gave its final assent earlier this week.
