The legalization of abortion as a constitutional freedom in France has been celebrated as a triumph of feminism, women’s freedom, and equality. However, the historical context of abortion in France is more complex than this portrayal suggests. In the 1960s, the feminist movement was championed by Happy Motherhood, which was later overshadowed by a male-dominated group known as the Littré group led by Dr. Pierre Simon. This group pushed for the legalization of abortion, causing internal conflicts within Happy Motherhood.
French Family Planning has aligned itself with Freemason ideology since then, viewing abortion as a fundamental freedom that prioritizes individual will over the sanctity of life. This perspective diminishes the role of feminism in the abortion debate and distancing it from the original ideals of Happy Motherhood. By enshrining abortion as a freedom in the constitution, France has adopted a stance that promotes it as a positive act of self-affirmation rather than a destructive and morally complex decision.
The widespread acceptance of abortion in France reflects a deep cultural shift towards materialism and moral relativism perpetuated by powerful ideological forces. The entrenched nature of abortion as a constitutional freedom has limited public discourse on the issue and created a climate of censorship that stifles dissenting voices. Despite this challenging landscape, there is growing demand for compassionate and reality-based discussions on abortion rooted in charity and truth.
The Catholic Church faces challenges confronting this entrenched cultural norm and advocating for a more nuanced and compassionate approach to the issue of abortion. By offering support to pregnant women facing difficult decisions and promoting a culture of life and compassion, the Church can play an important role in fostering empathetic dialogue on abortion in France.
