This is in a context where in France health issues are everyone’s right. There is what many Americans would call socialized medicine, it’s not quite socialized medicine, but there is French government compensation or reimbursement for health care expenses. And it is understood that French citizens all have the right to health care. And by moving the abortion debate into a discussion about pregnancy and reproduction, it turns it into an issue that is going to be resolved by the Ministry in Health and paid for in part by the State.
