A group of lawmakers belonging to French President Emmanuel Macron's Renaissance party are to propose a bill to inscribe abortion rights into the country's constitution, in the wake of Friday's ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that overturned abortion legislation as a constitutional right.
The move, announced by two members of parliament on Saturday comes after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a 50-year-old ruling and stripped women's constitutional protections for abortion.
