Concerned about abortion access in the city of Paris, the Mayor's office presented an action plan last week that involves offering chemical abortions without hospitalization in five 'planning centres' or abortuaries around the city. The chemical abortions will be available up to five weeks, and the City hopes that it will make it easier for women to get abortions. Sérénade Chafik of France's Planned Parenthood spoke of abortion access as an "obstacle course. The law is not applied. After eight weeks of pregnancy, it becomes difficult to find a doctor willing to perform abortions." Currently, French law allows abortion-on-demand until the 12th week after which they can be performed in exceptional cases with the approval of two doctors. Planned Parenthood contends that every year between 3,000 and 5,000 go abroad to get abortions. LifeSiteNews
Editor: I'm confused. I thought France was the home of the abortion pill.
