France to destroy the dreams of centrist American pundits by enshrining a constitutional right to obtain an abortion

I am beginning to question the beloved Savvy premise that the American anti-abortion movement is pretty much on the same page as communist France and therefore can’t be radical:
France’s Senate on Wednesday adopted a bill to enshrine a woman’s right to an abortion in the constitution, clearing a key hurdle for legislation promised by President Emmanuel Macron in response to a rollback in abortion rights in the United States.
Wednesday’s vote came after the lower house, the National Assembly, overwhelmingly approved the proposal in January. The measure now goes before a joint session of parliament for its expected approval by a three-fifths majority next week.
Macron said after the vote that his government is committed to “making women’s right to have an abortion irreversible by enshrining it in the constitution.” He said on X, formerly Twitter, that he would convene a joint session of parliament for a final vote on Monday.
Macron’s government wants Article 34 of the constitution amended to specify that “the law determines the conditions by which is exercised the freedom of women to have recourse to an abortion, which is guaranteed.”
I wonder which Western European country will now be falsely cited as the country whose abortion policies are pretty much like Alabama’s so what are pro-choicers so upset about?
