Sophie Marceau wants to make her voice heard while the debate is being held today in the National Assembly to know whether or not abortion should be included in the Constitution. The actress castigates opponents through a harsh speech.
Emmanuel Macron’s campaign promise,inclusion of the right to voluntary termination of pregnancy for all women in the Constitution is currently being debated in the National Assembly. The President of the Republic had confirmed his will during the fall in a long message posted on “guaranteed freedom” become “irreversible in 2024”. Several ministers spoke this Wednesday, January 24, while the Republican party confirmed its desire to ensure “the balance of the Veil law is respected and to respect everyone’s freedom of conscience” at the Palais Bourbon.
Several members of Eric Ciotti’s party had already expressed their reluctance on the subject recently, including the President of the Senate Gérard Larcher who had spoken the day before on Franceinfo to explain that he did not see the urgency of including abortion in the Constitution. “I don’t think that abortion is in danger. The Constitution is not a catalog of social and societal rights“he declared among others, echoing the challenges to access to voluntary termination of pregnancy in several countries in recent years, such as the United States to name just one.

Sophie Marceau fears for the safety of women
But not everyone hears it that way… This is the case of Sophie Marceau who took up the subject on social networks. The acclaimed actress last year in the film Clan by Eric Fraticelli published a real diatribe aimed at opponents of the inclusion of abortion in the Constitution Today. “Of course abortion is threatened!”she wrote first, as a response addressed directly to Gérard Larcher. Liked more than 23,000 times in just a few hours, Sophie Marceau’s publication evokes the “the fate of women who cannot have recourse to it” and which are thus put “in danger of death”. According to her, the opponents did not “what to do with the fate of women in truth”.
She goes further by estimating that these “represent patriarchy in all its splendor“ : “smug, retrograde and hypocritical”. “You shame our French society. As long as there are men like you, we will all be in danger.”, she goes so far as to write, thus concluding a decided speech. In most of the responses sent to her in return, Sophie Marceau can see that her community mainly agrees with her. Applause-shaped emojis have been appearing one after the other since the said message was posted online. It must be said that her subscribers have become accustomed to her rants, she who gave her point of view in the Depardieu Affair after begging consumers to buy French to support local agriculture last summer.
In any case, the National Assembly must decide for or against the inclusion of abortion in the Constitution by means of a solemn vote on January 30 and the Senate next month. If the two chambers agree on a text, they will meet in Congress on March 5 for a final vote.
