A law has been passed in France banning pro-life websites which attempt to dissuade women from having abortions without making clear they are pro-life.
The law was passed by the National Assembly, which has a Socialist majority, on Thursday evening.
The new crime is punishable with two years in jail or a €30,000 fine.
Laurence Rossignol, the minister for women’s rights, said pro-life activists were still at liberty to voice their opposition to abortion, as long as it was “under the condition they openly state who they are, what they do and what they want,” according to AFP.
