The authorities of France are planning to provide free contraception for women up to 25 years. Frenchwomen will be able to get both contraceptive pills and other means of protection, said the Minister of Solidarity and Health Country Olivier Veran. Politics quotes Deutsche Welle.
“is unfair that women cannot protect themselves, cannot access contraception and cannot make a choice free because it is too expensive,” the minister said. He promised that the French authorities would take this issue as soon as possible.
At the moment, free contraception in France is available only for girls 18 years and younger. According to Deutsche Welle, since the adoption of such a law, the number of abortions in the country has decreased significantly.
On September 8, the Supreme Court of Mexico decriminalized abortions in the early periods of pregnancy and canceled criminal punishment for them. The court considered the relevant law in Coaouta in the north of the country and recognized him unconstitutional. The state criminal code provided for a sentence in the form of imprisonment for up to three years for women who have made an abortion, as well as for citizens who provide such services.
