MODERATORS
 

A joint session of Parliament voted to adopt a constitutional reform to protect the 'freedom of women to voluntarily terminate a pregnancy, which is guaranteed.' The move was designed as a response to the US Supreme Court overturning the federal right to abortion in 2022.

France's Parliament approved a bill to enshrine a woman's right to an abortion in the Constitution in a historic vote on Monday, March 4, as lawmakers gathered for a joint session of Parliament at the Palace of Versailles. The bill was approved in an overwhelming 780-72 vote, and nearly the entire joint session stood in a long standing ovation.

The constitutional reform amends Article 34 of the French Constitution to specify that "the law determines the conditions by which is exercised the freedom of women to voluntarily terminate a pregnancy, which is guaranteed."

Eat a pile of rocks prolifers.

You’re hypocritical when you’re not in favour: of universal school lunches, safety regulations, abolition of the death penalty and veganism.

"but think of the babies"

school children: im hungry

"fuck off"

Calling them prolifers is giving them too much credit. They are anti abortionists. Most of them don't care about life.

Why don't people spin the tag on these guys? Prolife is horribly incorrect, what they are defending is more regulations and bigger government snooping into personal matters.

I may be out of the loop but what has veganism do to with that?

something something meat industry is incredibly fucked up. Honestly never heard it as an attack against "pro-lifers"

[–] confused_code_monkey@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

The meat industry contributes to a significant amount of global carbon emissions (11-17% of global carbon emissions according to a few sources). The meat industry has been the primary reason for the Amazon rainforest's deforestation. Industrial cow, pig, and fish farms are quite destructive/poisonous in whatever environment they're in. The large amount of antibiotic misuse in meat farms is leading to super resistant bacteria. In multiple studies, a healthy vegan diet is has been shown to be better in multiple health metrics when compared to a healthy omnivore diet. And, finally, the meat industry is typically terrible for the life of animals involved, especially the large meat farms.

Overall, prolifers typically supporting the political parties that typically support the meat industry does suggest hypocrisy. I imagine that's what the original commenter was suggesting.
