On the eve of the French National Assembly discuss the inclusion of the right to abortion the extreme right Marine Le Pen showed herself in the Constitution in favor of the measuresurprising both his opponents and members of his formation, the National Association.

Instead, Le Pen will present an amendmentalso to be entered in the magna carta the current 14-week deadline to access the voluntary interruption of pregnancy.

This Thursday, deputies meet in the National Assembly to debate on various proposals such as raising the minimum wage, bulls or abortion.

The abortion it is decriminalized in France by the Veil law, passed in 1975, but now the French deputies they want to go further given what is happening in other horizons of the world such as the United States, where the ban on abortion is growing.

Two bills will be considered this Thursday and next week on abortion. One from the left of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and another from the presidential majority of Emmanuel Macron, both to inscribe the right to abortion in the Constitution.

It’s a way to protect it right after the assault in several Eastern European countriessuch as Hungary and Poland, governed by conservatives and above all to avoid what happened in the United States, when the court revoked the Roe v. Wade.

The surprise came from the hand of the French extreme right of Marine Le Pen, in whose party the National Group, very heterogeneous politicians coexistsome in favor of, for example, same-sex marriage and others very attached to the most pious Catholicism.

Historic turning point of Le Pen

​

In any case, after a very pendulous attitudeLe Pen has decided: he will support the text, a historic turning point, but you want the deadline to be saved as well, the current 14 weeks since, in the bills, according to them, the door is left open expand.

Le Pen’s party spokesman said. “The text proposed by France Insoumise is a bit short, for example there is no time limit, i.e. Is it possible to have an abortion at 8 months?asks Laurent Jacobelli.

The game is double for Marine Le Pen. On the one hand, it takes sides in favor of abortion and at the same time leaves the provisions currently in force registered in order to have access to them.

For the representatives of Renacimiento, President Macron’s political group, the attitude of the far right it’s not sincere.

“This is an attempt to mask what is the true position of the National Association. I think we are facing a great hypocrisy because the far right is against abortion, even in the past they have proposed its repeal. It’s a party that it is against women’s rightswe know what they think, the only thing they want now is to change their image,” says Renacimiento spokesman Sacha Houlié.

Apart from the proposal from France Insoumise, there have been some presented to us more than 230 amendments. The text, being a constitutional law, will need the endorsement of the Senate e then be subjected to a referendum. And it is not yet guaranteed that the senators will give their approval.
