France: 40 years after the battle of Simone Veil for abortion, a new law on abortion
Two debates on abortion in the French National Assembly and 40 years apart.
Members chose the anniversary of the opening of the vote on the abortion law in 1974 to discuss a resolution reaffirming the fundamental right to abortion (IVG) in France and Europe.
This text, which seeks to consensus, is the brainchild of Catherine Contello, Chairman of the Delegation to the rights of women. He "recalled that the universal right of women to freely dispose of their bodies is a prerequisite for the construction of real equality between women and men, and a progressive society" and calls for "ensuring access women to quality information, appropriate contraception, and abortion safe and legal. "
Catherine Contello this resolution is a tribute to the Veil law that allows to show that "these fights are never finished," especially "the right to abortion remains contested, prevented by the action of fundamentalist groups or lack of specialized services. "
While it is expected that the vast majority of UMP vote the text, to the former Minister Laurent Wauquiez close to Nicolas Sarkozy, the text is only a "posture": "This law change anything? Not. It is a pure begging, it is not my idea of politics. When making laws is to do things, it's not for the beautiful "
"No woman uses a light heart to abortion"

"No woman light heart recourse to abortion. Just listen to women. It is always a tragedy and it will always remain a drama "
The debate preceding the vote last three days. They are heated. MPs from the majority of the Minister broadcast recording fetal heart beats. Jean Foyer, former Minister of Public Health under Pompidou is offended in a parallel understood with the Nazi death factories "Do not doubt it: already, capital are eager to invest in the industry death, and the time is not far off when we will know in France over "abortion mills" - such slaughterhouse - crammed small bodies of men "( ).
The centrist MP Jean-Marie Daillet goes even further and then Simone Veil is a former deportee, he dares to say, "There's there a difference in kind between what a Nazi doctor has done and what will be officially practiced in hospitals and clinics in France? We went up to declare that a human embryo was an aggressor. Well, these "aggressors", you accept, Madam, to see them, as happens elsewhere, thrown to the crematorium or fill out the garbage. "( )
November 28 and in the camps of supporters of the bill, the PS MP Jean Bastide began to dismantle the arguments of the College of Physicians and its president, Jacob Lortat Professor ( ). The College of Physicians is then, indeed, opposed to the legalization of the law. He issued a statement and a report on the matter, report that the Order was then, as Jean Bastide in his speech, sent with a letter to all MPs. This quote from the letter in which the president wrote, "if the law you have to vote were to liberalize abortion, it is essential to save ethics threatened from all sides - experimentation on healthy humans, euthanasia - the medical and paramedical personnel authorized to do these exercises abortions under a special status. "
The law was finally passed in the night of November 28 to 29 by 284 votes for and 189 against.
After passing the Senate in December just as fierce, the law was finally enacted in January 1975.
She concludes years of struggle for the right to abortion that one of the other highlights was published in April 1971 by the weekly magazine Le Nouvel Observateur manifesto says "343 bitches" 343 famous women - including Catherine Deneuve, Agnes Vara, Arianne Mnouchkine, Simone de Beauvoir and Françoise Sagan - reflecting an abortion.
Today in France, about 220,000 abortions are performed each year.
Excerpt from Simone Veil's speech at the opening of the debate on the bill on abortion
"Why not continue to close our eyes? Because the current situation is bad. I would even say that it is sad and dramatic. It is bad because the law is openly flouted, even worse, ridiculed.
When doctors in their offices, break the law and do publicly, when the flooring, before continuing, are invited to refer in each case to the Department of Justice, when social services of public agencies to provide Women in Distress information could facilitate an abortion when the same purposes, are openly organized and even charter of foreign travel, so I say that we are in a situation of disorder and anarchy which can continue. [...]
First of all I would like to share a woman of conviction; I apologize to do before this Assembly almost exclusively composed of men: no woman light heart resorts to abortion. Just listen to women. It is always a tragedy and it will always be a drama. [...]
Currently, those found in this distress, who cares? The law not only rejects in disgrace, shame and loneliness, but also in anonymity and fear of prosecution. »
