Question 13787 — foreign policy

Summary

As a member of the women's rights delegation of the National Assembly and as a deputy from a department having a common border with the Principality of Andorra, Ms. Laurence Gayte draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the criminalization of abortion in Andorra. Indeed, Andorra is one of the last states in Europe - with Malta, San Marino and the Vatican - to prohibit abortion, including including in cases of rape, incest, disease or malformation of the fetus, or danger to the life of the mother. Abortion constitutes an offense punishable by six months' imprisonment for the pregnant woman, and three years' imprisonment and five years' ban on practicing for the doctor who performs the procedure. Every year, Andorran women wishing to have an abortion go to Spain or France, for a cost varying from 600 to 1,000 euros. Some of them, unable to pay this amount, resort to unsafe or clandestine abortion methods. On September 28, 2018 (World Abortion Rights Day), many Andorran women marched in the streets of Andorra la Vella to demand the decriminalization of abortion in their country. She would like to know France's position on this issue.
