Abortion was sensitive in France when it was voted in the early 70ies.
Few people in France oppose abortion laws as they are today, but the abortion restrictions are quite different compared to the US. E.g. abortion time limit in France are much shorter in "usual" cases, ~3.5 months. It was 3 month until quite recently, and that extension was controversial.
[edit] controversial, but nowhere near as controversial as abortion is in the US. I wonder how controversial extension to 2nd or 3rd trimester would be in France. Those later-terms are legal only under exceptions in France (rape, danger to the mother, etc.).
