    The New York times article gives a little extra detail.

    up to 14 weeks into their pregnancies, according to the French justice minister, Éric Dupond-Moretti.

    That’s pretty much only the first trimester (12 weeks, so two weeks into the second). Why rejoice to this, when in the US, any limit on it is decried as the most horrible thing ever?

      That’s for a normal uneventful pregnancy. If past these 12 weeks, it is still possible to have an abortion is the pregnancy threatens the mother’s life or if it is later found the baby would suffer from a decease that at that stage the science can’t cure.

      And to answer, we rightfully rejoice. We shouldn’t have to carry a child we don’t want nor raise it. And if we do, we should be able to drop them at the ass’s front door who made us go through it by thinking we are mere incubators. If some of your people are sick enough to want to forbid abortion, let them personally raise those children and take the financial burden. And I write this as a woman and mum living in France. It’s time you take the figurative guillotine out of the shed and have them shit their pants.
