Eiffel Tower sparkles as Paris celebrates historic abortion vote

Abortion rights activists on Monday (March 4) gathered in central Paris cheered and applauded as the Eiffel Tower sparkled in the background and displayed the message "MyBodyMyChoice" after French lawmakers voted to inscribe abortion in its constitution.
France enshrined the right to abortion in its constitution, a world first welcomed by women's rights groups as historic and harshly criticized by anti-abortion groups.
MPs and senators overwhelmingly backed the move, by 780 votes against 72, in a special joint vote of the two houses of parliament, under the gilded ceilings of Versailles Palace, just outside Paris.
After the vote results were shown on a giant screen in front of the Eiffel Tower, women's rights activists and supporters of the bill cheered and danced while Beyonce's 'Girls' blasted in the background.
Abortion rights are more widely accepted in France than in the United States and many other countries, with polls showing around 80% of French people back the fact that abortion is legal.
