Question 12180 — women

Summary

Mrs. Clémentine Autain draws the attention of the Secretary of State, to the Prime Minister, responsible for equality between women and men, to the closure of the IVG center at the Bailleul hospital in Sarthe. Due to a lack of doctors, women can no longer go to this hospital, located in La Flèche. The situation is extremely harmful and unacceptable: today, women who wish to have an abortion must are now moving towards much more distant hospital centers, posing a major difficulty in terms of mobility. Worse, the Bailleul hospital is not an isolated case, as the director of family planning at Sarthe explains: “() we have information from our colleagues on the fact that the closures of health centers in rural areas, with mainly closures of IVG centers”. Certainly, following the assessment of the High Gender Equality Council (HCE) carried out in 2013, 26 of the 35 recommendations were followed. However, the situation experienced by patients at the Bailleul hospital shows that a lot of work remains to be accomplished, while more than 130 IVG centers were closed between 2001 and 2011. While the defense of the right to abortion was a presidential promise, she asks him to detail the measures that will be put in place to fight against the closure of IVG centers in France. The government's obsession with reducing public spending must not deteriorate women's access to a fundamental right.
