French President Emmanuel Macron said that he wants that the right to abortion be enshrined in the European Union’s Charter of Fundamental Rights.
“Today is not the end of the story. It is the start of a fight,” Macron said on Friday, which is International Women’s Day. “We’re going to lead this fight in our continent, in our Europe, where reactionary forces are attacking women’s rights before attacking the rights of minorities, the oppressed.”
“This is why I want to enshrine that guaranteed freedom to abortion in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union,” he said.
