Passing abortion laws is never something that should be celebrated.
On Monday, in a historic Versailles vote, France made abortion a constitutional right. In response to legalized baby-killing, many people celebrated and Paris even lit up the Eiffel tower in support.
This makes France the first country in the world to enshrine abortion into its constitution.
Out of 925 lawmakers eligible to vote for or against putting abortion into the constitution, 780 supported an amendment Monday during a joint session at the Palace of Versailles. As The Guardian reported, “there was thunderous applause in the chamber as the result was announced.”
The amendment is set to be inscribed into the constitution on Friday, International Women’s Day. What better way to show how much your country hates women by promoting something as anti-woman as abortion?
Prime Minister Gabriel Attal noted that “we owe a moral debt to women,” during the session Monday, and added that passing the amendment would be “a victory for women's rights.”
He wasn’t the only one to view this as a victory.
A huge group of pro-aborts gathered to hear the news and cheered jubilantly. They literally jumped up and down like kids in a candy store in support of innocent baby killing. In one video that captured their joy, the Eiffel Tower is shown glistening in honor of the news.
In contrast, France’s Conference of Bishops urged people to fast and pray Monday over the pending legislation.
Concerned Women for America insisted that “abortion dehumanizes children and disempowers women” and also urged followers to join them in prayer over the “sad day for the world.”
“You are watching a scene from France as they CELEBRATE what will be a GENOCIDE of French babies after officially making abortion a constitutional right,” Students for Life president Kristan Hawkins critiqued on X.

One user wrote: “Today is a sorrowful day for humanity as unborn children are regarded as objects rather than humans. The rotten fruits of the French Revolution. The only right that truly matters is the right to life; it is preeminent. Without this right, no other right holds significance.”
This is utterly heartbreaking in many regards. For one, that a country just enshrined abortion into its constitution and for two that many people are not only happy but ecstatic about it.
