"abortion guaranteed for all" - "My body = my decision." demonstration for easier requirements for termination procedure, France, 2014. Link
Up to the 1970's, abortion was strictly restricted in France. Even influenced and infiltrated by Liberalism and Freemasonry since the 1789 Revolution, France had remained a conservative nation when the cultural revolution known as "the may 1968 events" broke up. Abortion became legal when France was shifting from a conservative and predominantly Catholic society to a Liberal country, one of the most secularized of the world.
The Catholic Church stood against abortion, birth control and contraception. On the other side, the Communist party which was powerful then, considered abortion and birth control as bourgeois decadent practices promoted to weaken the working class. The leader of the Communist Party in the 1950's, Maurice Thorez, considered birth control as Neo-Malthusian and his wife, Jeannette Vermeesch claimed it was a "weapon in the hands of the bourgeoisie against social laws".
Thorez wrote :
"Instead of being inspired by the idéologies of the upper class and petty bourgeoisie, you would have done better to consider the article Lenin dedicated to Neomalthusianism... The road to Women's liberation passes through social reform, the social révolution and not through abortion clinics."
So, both Catholics and Communists considered abortion as criminal, though for different reasons. Both factions represented an overwhelming majority of the population, especially the working class and the peasantry. This is probably why they eventually were under attack and then collapsed soon after the 1968 Trotskyist cultural revolution. The Vatican II council is also a major reason for the collapse of the Catholic Church. Liberalism became the main trend in France after 1968 especially among the young generation. As a matter of fact, the legalisation of abortion in 1975 is considered by many as "a cornerstone of women's right and secularism in France".
Abortion was formerly considered as a crime and severely punished. People guilty of praising or practicing abortion faced death penalty. During the French Revolution, punishment became less severe but people guilty of having carried out abortions were sentenced long years in jail. During the Pétain regime, death penalty was restored for such crimes and a woman, Marie-Louise Giraud who had carried out several clandestine abortions during the Pétain regime was sentenced to death and executed in 1943. She was the last woman to be sentenced to death in France. From the post-war years up to the early 1970's, pressure groups were organised to gradually push Liberal views regarding abortion and birth control.
In 1956, an organization called La maternité heureuse (happy motherhood), was established by two doctors, Pierre Simon and Marie-Andrée Lagroua Weill-Hallé. They promoted birth-control and contraception despite the fact that it had been banned by a 1920 law. They were inspired by the infamous American eugenist Margaret Sanger. La maternité heureuse became affiliated to the IPPF (International Planned Parenthood Federation) and eventually choose the name Planning Familial. They imported contraceptives from abroad and delivered them to women. But they didn't promote abortion then, except for exceptional instances.
In 1967, their activities ceased to be illegal as the Neuwirth Law allowed women to get contraceptives freely. The law bears the name of the then Minister for Health, Lucien Neuwirth. La maternité heureuse had already changed its name for the Mouvement français pour le planning familial (French movement for family planning) in 1960.
Pierre Simon and Freemasonry
The fact that Freemasonry was behind the creation of the Maternité heureuse and the Neuwirth Law is unsurprising. Pierre Simon was a major figure of the French Freemasonry. He became great master of the Grand Lodge of France. Unlike Simone Veil, Pierre Simon was a shadowy figure but his role was instrumental in the implementation of the so-called "Loi Veil" making abortion legal in 1975. Born in a Jewish upper class family, Pierre Simon became a gynaecologist and in the 1960's, he promoted the use of the IUD, a contraceptive device he compared to a kind of bishop's crosier ending in rosary beads.
Simone Veil (1927/2017), Minister for Health (1974-1979). She managed to have the law bearing her name voted despite the hostility of many deputies, which made abortion legal. She became an icon for the Liberals.

Pierre Simon (1925/2008). Few pictures of him are to be found on the internet. Another proof that Simon is indeed a shadowy figure. Link
Pierre Simon and Freemasonry
The fact that Freemasonry was behind the creation of the Maternité heureuse and the Neuwirth Law is unsurprising. Pierre Simon was a major figure of the French Freemasonry. He became great master of the Grand Lodge of France.

Simon popularized the name stérilet in France referring to the IUD. It's not necessary to have knowledge in French to trace back the origin of this word. As a matter of fact, Simon was also a eugenist. In this 2014 article, he is said to have suggested to "make sure that the material doesn't degrade itself" - 'material' here means 'human stock' - and avoid the "proliferation of hereditary defects."
Simon was one of the 330 doctors who claimed having carried out clandestine abortions in a petition published in the Leftist news magazine Le Nouvel Observateur in 1973. He released a study dealing with the sexuality of the French people, the Rapport Simon (Simon report), a French equivalent of the infamous Kinsey Report. He also wrote the draft of the bill which became later voted at the Parliament under the name of the Loi Veil (Veil Law) allowing free abortion for a 5 year period. Then, after the legalization of abortion, Simon started to promote euthanasia, another long term Masonic plan which is still in progress today.
Masonic pills
It is surprisingly easy to find links making blatantly the connection between Freemasonry and the so-called 'progressive' laws. An article published in 2017 in the Freemason blog La Lumière (the light) included in the Liberal magazine L'Express, bearing an unambiguously title : " La GLDF fête 50 ans de pilules maçonniques" (the GLDF - Grand Lodge of France - celebrates 50 years of Masonic pills) in which Freemasonry and Pierre Simon's role in the process leading to the Neuwirth law is explained.
In another article published in 2013, La Lumière states that Simon and Neuwirth were friends, that the Neuwirth law was a Masonic plan supported by the Grand Lodge of France.
In 2016, Simone Veil was awarded a Marianne (a kind of goddess symbolising the French Republic) statue by the Grand Orient de France, the most important obedience of the French Masonry. At this moment, they recalled that abortion is "the pillar of the society wanted by Freemasonry".
To have their plan to succeed and the bills they wrote themselves to be voted, the Freemasons enjoys as usual the great help of useful idiots : the Trotskyist and Leftist activists.
The Groupe information santé (group information health) and the feminist movements
Making its way gradually in the French society since the end of WW2, the so-called Counterculture and Liberal ideas burst out during the may 1968 movement. Alongside working class demands on salary increase and better work conditions, the student movement was the very beginning of lifestyle change in France, especially for women. It was based on 'equality', sexual liberation and freedom of choice. It was obviously inspired by Cultural Marxism and the Frankfurt School. As a matter of fact, the working class movement was indifferent if not hostile, to the bourgeois Trotskyst campaign for 'emancipation.'
In the aftermaths of the 1968 events, many organizations erupted and advocated sexual liberation. One of the most famous was the Mouvement de libération de la femme (movement for women's liberation - MLF) created in 1970. They openly campaigned for free abortion and other organizations, such as the Mouvement de libération de l'avortement (Movement for Liberation of Abortion), followed.
The 343 sluts
The "manifesto of the 343" - named after 343 women, including famous ones such as the actress Catherine Deneuve, claimed having undergone an abortion -, written by the famous feminist thinker Simone de Beauvoir, was published in Le Nouvel Observateur in 1971. The manifesto stated that one million women had already had an abortion in hazardous conditions and wanted it to be free, legal and safe. The magazine Charlie Hebdo made it known under the name of the 343 salopes (343 sluts) a kind a joke to show a feeling of solidarity and frienship and mock the reactionnary people who accused such women to be immoral. Being a slut had become something to be proud of for a 'free' woman in a time where values had been already turned upside down.
The Bobigny trial
In 1972, five women were prosecuted and brought to a trial in Bobigny, near Paris. One had undergone an abortion after having being raped and the four others, including her mother, were prosecuted for having carried out and abortion or being accomplice of it. They were defended by a feminist barrister, Gisèle Halimi. The story gained a large coverage in the medias and had a great impact on the public. It paved the way towards the legalisation.
The 'Karman method'
In august 1972, an experiment took place in Delphine Seyrig's flat. Seyrig was a famous actress. Leftist activists carried out there an abortion on a young woman with the help of Harvey Karman, a Californian militant and psychologist who had invented a 'cheap and simpler' way to perform abortions. It became known as the 'Karman method' and became widely used in abortion clinics.
This experiment was organised by an informal group called the Groupe information santé, a group of doctors and students founded in 1972 after a meeting with the philosopher Michel Foucault. The prominent figures were Pierre Jouannet, and René Frydman. Both Jouannet and Frydman are biologists and deal with human fertility. Both became recurring figures in the French media and still are today. Jouannet was a former Marxist-Leninist. Frydman became later famous for its role in the birth of the first French test-tube baby in 1983 and is popularised by the media. He currently hosts a program on the state-owned radio France Culture. In one of them, he praised Pierre Simon's achievements.
Legalization
Born in a Jewish family, Simone Veil was deported with her parents and siblings to Bergen Belsen during WW2. She managed to come back home alive with her sisters but her parents and her brother had perished in the Nazi camp. After having graduated in laws and following a long career as a senior civil servant, the Prime Minister Jacques Chirac choose her to be his Minister for Health after Valéry Giscard d'Estaing being elected as president in 1974. Her most notable achievement then was the vote to legalise abortion in January 1975. The tragic fate of her family, her Jewish background, and the fact that she was verbally abused during the debates over the abortion bill made her a kind of icon for the Liberal camp. After her death in 2017, she was buried in the Panthéon, the Republican monument in which many famous people such as Voltaire or Victor Hugo rest. Few people know that Pierre Simon and Freemasonry were more instrumental in the normalisation of abortion in France than she was.
Consequences
Simone Veil had claimed that abortion should be restricted to "situation of distress" but, as a matter of facts, the numbers of abortions were, from the very beginning (1976) and - except for the mid 1990's - very high and remained stable (over 200,000 a year) until now. It seems that abortion, far from being restricted to "situations of distress", became something commonplace. 9,6 millions of abortions has been carried out since 1976. Moreover, the term 'abortion' was replaced by "IVG" like interruption volontaire de grossesse - Voluntary interruption of pregnancy, probably to make it more acceptable. The "situation of distress" stance disappeared in 1979 from the law and all kind of criticism, gradually silenced.
Expanding rights and silencing the opposition
In the 1970's, in the aftermaths of the Vatican 2 council (1962-1965) and the implementation of the Novo Ordo mass in 1969, many people in France left the Church especially the young generation. Many of them became agnostic but some joined the Society of Pius X. Traditional Catholicism was and still is the most committed religious movement in challenging abortion in France.
The official position of the Catholic Church in France was of course a clear opposition to the legalization of abortion but the minority of the traditionnal Catholics following Mgr Lefebvre were the most active. The Catholic embryologist, Xavier Dor (1929/2020) was one of the most famous figure of the anti-abortion movement. Up to the end of his life, he endlessly tried to prevent abortion in clinics. As a matter of fact, the Parliament passed a law preventing actions in clinics. The Neiertz law (1993) made obstruction to abortion a crime and Dor faced several criminal prosecutions.
Now, anti-abortion activism involves mostly marches and websites. Many websites give advices and warnings about abortion but a 2017 law allows supervision and even ban of such websites.

Abortion - A 'new normal' in France?
Few key dates :
1979 : The Veil Law is extended (after a 5 year test time)
1980 : End of the 'distress provision'
1982 : the abortion expenses are covered by the state health insurance
1993 : blocking abortion process is now an offense
2001 : abortion delay is extended up to 12 weeks old pregnancies
2004 : abortion pills are authorized
2017 : a law allows the supervision of anti-abortion websites
Nowadays, abortion has become a "new normal" in French society and is difficult to challenge. Anyone protesting against it can face ridicule and anti abortion attitude is considered as 'fascist'. The intimidation is such that it's difficult to know if abortion is actually considered as actually normal and trivial in the French population. As a matter of fact, abortion has reached an iconic and sacred position for the media and the politicians. It is considered as 'progressive'.
In the Masonic, Liberal and Leftist circles, abortion is considered as a core issue. In the Masonic website, hiram.be, 277 articles are dedicated to this subject.

According to the former Freemason, Serge Abad-Gallardo, who has converted to Catholicism and published several books, Freemasons only refer to themselves, make their own choices regardless the natural law, seek for happiness and pleasures on Earth as if eternal life wouldn't exist, according to their creed.
"Laws such as abortion, euthanasia or gay marriage fits masonic ideas of emancipation of the individual who refers only to himself, with any other moral limitation than those he sets for himself."
Serge Abad-Gallardo
For the Catholics, abortion is the ultimate crime. For Freemasonry, it was the ultimate goal to reach. Eugenics, controlling and downsizing the Global population is an obsessive aim to achieve for the Global elite. Far from being progressive, abortion is a weapon against humanity. Freemasons and the Global elite want to control every aspect of life and death.
