PARIS, June 24 (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday that abortion was a fundamental right for women, as he reacted to the U.S. Supreme Court decision earlierto overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling on abortion.
"Abortion is a fundamental right for all women. We must protect it. I would like to express my solidarity with all those women whose freedoms have today been compromised by the U.S. Supreme Court," wrote Macron on his Twitter account.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday took the dramatic step of overturning the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that recognized a woman's constitutional right to an abortion and legalized it nationwide, handing a momentous victory to Republicans and religious conservatives who want to limit or ban the procedure. read more

This is unfortunately what happened in the US when the Leftwing refused to codify abortion everytime they controlled the government & the right wing party just accomplishing what they’ve always said was their goal.
(And even had a young Biden railing against doing so).

Most of the developed world knows it, the majority of Americans know it, but sadly, we just learned that we have three Supreme Court justices who lied under oath about this very issue and another SC justice who supports an insurrection. Holy shit how the US is literally moving backwards in the world.
