The proposal was prompted by increased restrictions in the US and Poland, but it faces a tough passage.
France's National Assembly has backed a bid to enshrine the right to abortion in the constitution, prompted largely by increased restrictions elsewhere.
A change of constitution would also have to go to a referendum, although opinion polls suggest more than 80% of French voters are behind it. "The question of access to abortion and of protecting it isn't a whim; it shouldn't be politicised; it's not a matter of party politics," she said. Ms Panot dedicated Thursday's vote to women in the US, Poland and Hungary. Her push to change constitution was triggered by a vote in the US Supreme Court to end the national guarantee to abortion access, overturning the landmark Roe v Wade ruling in 1973.
