France advances abortion-friendly law system

Their level of commitment to securing women’s abortion rights puts the U.S. to shame

This week, the French government implemented a change in abortion and contraception laws that will improve conditions for women overall.  They have decided that all abortions shall be fully reimbursed and that contraception will be available and free to minors aged 15 to 18. 

Though this is only a small increase in what the laws in place already were, it really highlights the extreme contrast between France and the U.S., pointing out to me just how backwards we are here in the states.
