After the medically assisted procreation (LDC) for all women, entered into force at the end of September, the deputies of the Republic (LRM) adhesive to another societal reform, five months of the presidential election.
The National Assembly will examine at second reading, from Monday, November 29, a proposal for a law that intends to increase access to the right to abortion with the elongation of the voluntary interruption of pregnancy (IVG ) from twelve to fourteen weeks. “My goal is to ensure that the actual rights for every woman needs to proceed to an IVG,” said LMR Group President at the National Assembly, Christophe Castaner, on BFM-TV on Sunday .
The elected representatives of the majority resume a proposal for a law brought by the member (Ex-LRM) of Val-de-Marne Albane Gaillot. Nearly 500 amendments – they are 90% from the Republicans (LR) group – will be in discussion all this week. “I regret that the majority did not enter the subject before, blame M me Gaillot. Today, it’s almost eight women a day who must go abroad to abort. “
Two and a half years that the debate is enlisted around this text of three articles. The first attempt to extend the deadlines of IVG dates from June 2019. The Socialist Senator of Oise Laurence Rossignol then adopted an amendment to the health bill. Under the pressure of the Senate right, the amendment is awarded by the Minister of Health, Agnès Buzyn. It is finally rejected.
The text divides within the majority
At the Palais-Bourbon, two members of the Women’s Rights Delegation, Cécile Muschotti (LRM, Var) and Marie-Noëlle Battisttel (PS, Isère), present a parliamentary report in September 2020 on disparities in access to IVG in France. They advocate, in addition to the lengthening of the abortion period of twelve to fourteen weeks, that the legislature removes the specific awareness clause for health professionals and allowed midwives to practice surgical IVGs.
Albane Gaillot resumes these conclusions in a bill that is debated at first reading on October 9, 2020. Some MPs LR hostile to the text on behalf of the “born child’s right” deposit a hundred amendments in a obstruction strategy. The text also divides within the majority, on the merits as on the form. The potential suppression of the double clause of consciousness for health professionals is considered shocking. Just like the fact that former macronists, passed on the opposition side, seize the subject. It is finally adopted at 86 votes against 59.
