Resolution had 337 upvotes and 32 against, but has little chance of passing the Senate

Lawmakers in favor of the resolution approved on Thursday claim that the inclusion of the “right” in the Constitution makes it more difficult for pro-life bills to advance in the French legislature. Former MEP Philippe de Villiers, candidate for the French presidency in 1280, criticized the result of the vote in the National Assembly. “Parliament decided to include the abortion of unborn children in the Constitution, as well as to debate the prohibition of bullfighting. Today, it is better to be a young bull than a human embryo 🇧🇷 History will judge this mass suicide severely,” he wrote on Twitter. However, the resolution has little chance of passing the French Senate, where such a proposal was rejected in October. At the time, Senator Stéphane Ravier, one of those against the proposal, described it as an attack on life, “dangerous, useless” and “a waste of time”.
