Which one out of the following countries approved a bill to enshrine abortion rights to women in its Constitution on March 4, 2024?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1 -> France became the first country in the world to explicitly protect abortion rights in its constitution through a congressional vote.

Option 2 -> Germany has abortion regulations but did not amend its constitution to enshrine abortion rights on this date.

Option 3 -> Switzerland maintains abortion laws but did not constitutionally enshrine these rights in March 2024.

Option 4 -> China did not take any legislative action to constitutionally protect abortion rights on this date.


Hence, Option 1: France -> The French Parliament voted overwhelmingly (780-72) to amend Article 34 of the Constitution, making France the first country to explicitly guarantee freedom to abortion at the constitutional level, following concerns after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade -> correct
