Constitutional change could face fight in Senate after national assembly approves measure by 493 votes to 30
France’s lower house of parliament has overwhelmingly approved a measure to inscribe abortion as a “guaranteed freedom” in the constitution, a pledge made by the president, Emmanuel Macron, last year.
