Abstract

France's landmark constitutional amendment in 2024 enshrines abortion freedom in its supreme legal framework, representing a profound milestone against the backdrop of shifting global political and social attitudes toward abortion. This decision, influenced by disruptive events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the overturning of constitutional abortion rights in the United States, places France to the forefront of protecting abortion access. Despite ongoing challenges in accessing services in certain areas and circumstances, this amendment sets a precedent for other nations considering similar protections. We offer key insights into this case and reflect on how it can potentially shape legislative trends in abortion rights worldwide.

将宪法作为保障堕胎权利的一种方式：法国的案例

法国 2024 年具有里程碑意义的宪法修正案将堕胎自由纳入其最高法律框架，在全球政治和社会对堕胎的态度不断转变的背景下，这是一个意义深远的里程碑。这一决定受到 COVID-19 大流行和美国推翻宪法规定的堕胎权利等破坏性事件的影响，使法国在保护堕胎机会方面走在了前列。尽管在某些地区和情况下获得堕胎服务仍面临挑战，但该修正案为其他国家考虑提供类似保护开创了先例。我们对这一案例提出了重要见解，并思考它如何可能影响全球堕胎权利的立法趋势。
