In an emotional ceremony marking the enshrining of the right to an abortion in the French constitution, Emmanuel Macron said the historic change was the sealing of a long battle for ‘the right to love, to choose, to live freely’. The historic amendment was marked by an official sealing of the constitution using a 19th-century press that was installed outside the justice ministry in central Paris so the ceremony could be seen by the public. In his address, Macron said he wanted the measure inscribed in the EU charter of fundamental rights and that it should become a universal right.
