@@France Gets It

Great job France!

This is a good step, but this part is interesting.  Better than nothing I guess?

France limits the possibility for an elective abortion at 14 weeks — a shorter timeframe than the proposed 15-week nationwide ban that has caused an uproar in the United States.

Yeah I was just about to post this

I have no details about the negotiation or thinking for this. Republicans already site the fact that several European countries have gestational bans as a talking point, so I’m sure this will be included.

It’s maddening that the government interferes with people’s bodily autonomy. I don’t agree with gestational bans as they are devastating to people and we shouldn’t settle. Abortion is legal in Canada throughout pregnancy (access to providers who are trained throughout pregnancy is a different story) and that’s what we should strive for.
