From crime to legal right to a “liberté”, or freedom, in the French Constitution, we take a look at the evolution of abortion rights in France. We dive into the major events that led to this historic shift. We discuss the Manifesto of the 343, a turning point legal trial, a 1920s contraception law, and how abortion providers once risked the guillotine.

IN THE PRESS – Wednesday, January 24: Donald Trump unsurprisingly wins the New Hampshire primary, marking an upset for Nikki Haley. For much of the US press though, the race made fractures in the Republican Party clear. Here in France, papers weigh the government's plan to enshrine abortion into the constitution, amid growing resistance from the right. We finish with another major breakthrough in gene therapy. 

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Jan. 9 at 8:30 a.m. CT: A sprawling storm has hit the South with strong thunderstorms and tornado warnings that blew roofs off homes and tossed about furniture in the Florida Panhandle and brought cities across the Midwest to a standstill with more than half of foot of snow. The National Weather Service says a storm with 55 mph winds and hail moved through the Florida Panhandle and into parts of Alabama and Georgia by sunrise Tuesday, along with at least several reports of radar-confirmed tornadoes. Up to a foot of snow could blanket a broad area stretching from southeastern Colorado all the way to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The weather has already affected campaigning for Iowa's Jan. 15 precinct caucuses. WASHINGTON (AP) — Special counsel Jack Smith and his prosecution team have entered the courtroom more than a half hour before arguments are to begin for Donald Trump's federal appeal in a Jan. 6 case. Trump is on his way from nearby Virginia. The appeals court is hearing arguments on whether the Republican former president is immune from prosecution on charges he plotted to overturn the results of the 2020 election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden. The outcome of Tuesday's arguments carries enormous ramifications for the landmark criminal case against Trump and for the broader and legally untested question of whether an ex-president can be prosecuted for acts committed in the White House. MOSCOW (AP) — A U.S. citizen has been arrested on drug charges in Russia, a move that comes amid soaring Russia-U.S. tensions over Ukraine. The arrest of Robert Woodland Romanov was reported Tuesday by the press service of the Moscow courts. It said the Ostankino District Court ruled on Saturday to keep him in custody for two months on charges of illegal drug possession pending an official probe. There was no immediate comment from the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. The name of the accused matches that of a U.S. citizen, who in 2020 told a Russian newspaper that he was adopted by an American couple when he was two but later traveled to Russia to meet his Russian mother. Earth shattered global annual heat records last year and it's flirting with the warming threshold that nations wanted to stay within to avoid the worst consequences of climate change. That's according to Copernicus, the European climate agency, which reported Tuesday that 2023 was 1.48 degrees Celsius (2.66 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times. That's just a whisker below the 1.5-degree threshold nations agreed to try to stay within at the Paris climate talks in 2015. And Copernicus said this January is on track to be so warm that the world will go past that 1.5-degree threshold for the first time over a 12-month period. Climate scientists say it's imperative that humans continue trying to hold down warming. The Michigan Wolverines are college football's national champs, Pacers win a thriller without All Star Tyrese Haliburton, rarity for the Rangers, and Tiger Woods parts with Nike.  On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Jan. 9 at 6 a.m. CT: PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The decision by Alaska Airlines to stop flying one of its planes over the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii due to warnings from a cabin-pressurization system — yet keep flying it over land — is raising questions about whether the jet should have been in the air at all. The nation's top accident investigator says warnings were triggered on three flights, including each of the two days before the brand-new Boeing 737 Max 9 suffered a terrifying fuselage blowout Friday night. A plug covering a spot left for an emergency door tore off the plane as it flew 16,000 feet above Oregon. The decision to keep flying the plane over land struck some aviation experts as illogical. WASHINGTON (AP) — The IRS has announced January 29 as the official start date of the 2024 tax season, and expects more than 128.7 million tax returns to be filed by the April 15 tax deadline. The announcement comes as the agency undergoes a massive facelift, attempting to improve its technology and customer service processes with tens of billions of dollars allocated to the agency through Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law in August 2022. VIENNA, Va. (AP) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has announced that 100,000 businesses have signed up for a new database of that collects ownership information intended to help unmask shell company owners. Yellen says the database will send the message that “the United States is not a haven for dirty money.” She also says Treasury is considering boosting rules related to commercial real estate transactions. Treasury says illicit actors laundered at least $2.3 billion through U.S. real estate between 2015 and 2020. Yellen on Monday visited Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network in Virginia to discuss the initiative. CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — At a Black church, President Joe Biden says white supremacy is a “poison” and has no place in America. In a campaign speech Monday, he underscored what he wants Americans to know he believes is at stake in the November presidential election. He is revisiting some of the nation's worst traumas to highlight what happens when hate is allowed to fester. Biden traveled to Charleston, South Carolina, on Monday to speak at Mother Emanuel AME Church. That's where nine Black churchgoers were shot to death during Bible study in 2015. Biden's event comes after his blunt speech last Friday condemning political violence on the eve of the anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. A sprawling storm that pelted much of the nation 's midsection under more than a half a foot of snow created whiteout conditions in several cities and closed schools and public offices as officials warned motorists to stay home. The weather affected campaigning for Iowa's Jan. 15 precinct caucuses, where the snow is expected to be followed by frigid temperatures that could drift below zero degrees. ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The Washington Commanders have fired coach Ron Rivera. Controlling owner Josh Harris announced the move Monday. The Commanders lost eight in a row to finish 4-13 after opening with back-to-back victories. Washington made one playoff appearance by winning the NFC East at 7-9 in 2020 during Rivera's four seasons in charge of the team's football operations. General manager Martin Mayhew and a majority of the front office and coaching staff are also expected to depart as new ownership begins sweeping changes to put its stamp on the organization. ATLANTA (AP) — Arthur Smith has been fired by the Atlanta Falcons after completing his third straight losing season. Smith inherited a rebuilding project in his first NFL head coaching job and failed to lift the Falcons from their playoff drought. The 41-year-old son of FedEx founder Fred Smith went 7-10 in each of his three seasons. Atlanta closed the season with an ugly 48-17 loss at New Orleans, its second consecutive lopsided defeat. That sealed Smith's fate. He was hired by the Falcons in 2021 after a decade-long stint as an assistant with the Tennessee Titans in which he moved up to offensive coordinator. Tiger Woods is no longer a Nike athlete after 27 years, ending a partnership between the swoosh and golf's biggest star and raising questions about the future of both in the sport. Woods in a social media post thanked Nike co-founder Phil Knight for his “passion and vision” that brought Nike and the Nike Golf partnership with Woods together. Mark Steinberg, his agent at Excel Sports, confirmed the end of the deal that began in 1996. Nike also posted to social media, saying in a photo, “It was a hell of a round, Tiger.” FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Authorities say an explosion at a historic Texas hotel on Monday injured 21 people and trapped some in the basement before they were found by rescue crews. One person was in critical condition. Fort Worth Fire Department spokesman Craig Trojacek says investigators are confident the blast was “some kind of gas explosion.” He says the blast flung doors and entire sections of wall onto the road in front of the 20-story hotel, where rescue crews found several people trapped in the basement. The Sandman Signature in the heart of downtown Fort Worth was undergoing construction. The hotel is in a busy area of downtown about one block from the Fort Worth Convention Center. LAS VEGAS (AP) — A man who was videotaped leaping over a judicial bench and attacking a Nevada judge is being sentenced to up to four years in prison. Deobra Delone Redden was shackled and closely guarded as he appeared Monday to be sentenced for attempted battery in an attack that happened last year, months before the courthouse attack. The judge attacked by Redden on Jan. 3 says she sentenced him to the same punishment she was about to impose when the defendant launched himself at her last week. Neither Redden nor his lawyer was asked to speak during the brief court appearance Monday. The defense attorney later declined to comment. In his first interview since his assault and harassment conviction last month, actor Jonathan Majors says he hopes to work in Hollywood again. In the interview that aired Monday on ABC's “Good Morning America,” Majors says he believes he deserves a second chance and he hopes others think so too. A Manhattan jury last month found the 34-year-old emerging Hollywood star guilty of one misdemeanor assault charge and one harassment violation for a March altercation with his then-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. He faces the possibility of up to a year in jail for the assault conviction at his sentencing Feb. 6. Probation or other non-jail sentences also are possible. PARIS (AP) — French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne has resigned following recent political turmoil over a new immigration law. That paves the way for President Emmanuel Macron to seek fresh momentum by appointing a new government in coming days. The shakeup is widely seen as an attempt by the 46-year-old centrist Macron to head off a looming lame-duck status. Macron's term is to end in 2027, and he won't be able to run again for president in line with the French Constitution. Borne had been appointed in May 2022 after Macron's reelection for a second term. She was France's second female prime minister. Macron's office says Borne will continue in her duties until new government is appointed. —The Associated Press About this program Host Terry Lipshetz is managing editor of the national newsroom for Lee Enterprises.

Highlights:  ●      “Furious riots are sweeping the nation of France after French President Emmanuel Macron announced that he was going to bypass parliament and impose by fiat his own pension reforms on the French people.” ●      Macron's proposal is very unpopular and was doomed to defeat by the French Parliament, and that's when he in effect turned the proposal into a dictate. He invoked what's called Article 49 of the French Constitution, which allows the president to unilaterally pass any law without a vote.” ●      “The great self-proclaimed defenders of Democracy, the Bullies in Brussels, are absolutely silent over this. And of course, they are because we all know nothing that the collective western powers, nothing that the dolts in DC or the Bullies in Brussels or the Demons in Davos, NOTHING that they do has anything to do with democracy.” ●      “There's already a no-confidence vote scheduled for later today in the National Assembly; it's more a symbolic vote, Macron will probably weather that vote, barely, but even if he didn't it, it doesn't have a direct effect on him. What this does do is it politically paralyzes Macron, even worse than he already is.”   Timestamps:  [01:09] Why riots are sweeping the nation of France [03:29] How no one at the EU is calling out Macron for his blatantly authoritarian, anti-democratic tactics [06:34] Why the Macron government is on the verge of collapse Resources:  ●      Learn how to protect your life savings from inflation and an irresponsible government, with Gold and Silver.

This is yet another authoritarian move by the globalist psychopath as he looks for any way possible to make people more dependent and get more money out of them. People responded in the thousands in the streets, burning police cars and fighting the police with garbage fires lighting up some of the main tourist attractions of Paris. This isn't the first nor last time we are seeing riots in France. It's part of their culture. But we can see tempers flaring up by the year and eventually people will have enough.

In this week's French Connections, Genie Godula and French Connections take a closer look at what French law says about abortion and contraception, in light of some new developments. Recently, the government made contraception and condoms completely free for anyone under the age of 26. Meanwhile, the morning-after pill has become free for all women. With abortion rights moving backwards in the US, Poland and Hungary, there have been calls to enshrine these rights in the French constitution. But while a majority of French people support the idea, changing the constitution is a complex affair. 

In this episode, we bring you an investigation into lawyers and politicians behaving badly – our “Special Report on Pettiness and the Law.”We'll also continue our series on the founding of America and the French Revolution by doing our best to describe the proposed French constitution of 1793 (which never went into effect because everyone basically shrugged and said “we don't feel like it”) and what happened after that (spoiler alert: it's called “The Reign of Terror”).Special Report on Pettiness and the Law (0:02:00)The French Constitution of 1793 (0:12:20)The Reign of Terror (1:05:08)

This is our final episode of Talking France before we, like the rest of France, take a summer break.There is a lot to discuss as we look into what the next few weeks have in store for France.From the return of Covid-19 to the summer get away and from the political chaos to the threat of strikes we will explore what could happen over the next few weeks.We'll also learn a thing or three about the French Constitution and discover whether the French really do eat frogs legs, snails and horse as the stereotype has us believe.

French President Emmanuel Macron's centrist alliance was projected to lose its majority despite getting the most seats in the final round of parliamentary elections Sunday, while the far-right National Rally appeared to have made big gains.The projections, which are based on partial results, say Macron's candidates would win between 230 and 250 seats — much less than the 289 required to have a straight majority at the National Assembly, France's most powerful house of parliament.The situation, which is highly unusual in France, is expected to make Macron's political maneuvering difficult if the projections are borne out.A new coalition — made up of the hard left, the Socialists and the Greens — is expected to become the main opposition force with about 140 to 160 seats.The National Rally is projected to register a huge surge with potentially more than 80 seats, up from eight before. Polling was held nationwide to select the 577 members of the National Assembly.The strong performance of both the National Rally and the leftist coalition called Nupes, led by hard-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon, is expected to make it harder for Macron to implement the agenda he was reelected on in May, including tax cuts and raising France's retirement age from 62 to 65.Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said the “unprecedented” situation “is a risk to our country faced with challenges at the national level as well as at the international scale.”“As the central force in that new Assembly ... we will work, as of tomorrow, to build an action-oriented majority," she said.“There's no alternative but gathering to guarantee our country some stability and lead the necessary reforms,” she added.Borne, who herself won a seat in western France, suggested Macron's centrist alliance will seek to get support from lawmakers from diverse political forces to find “good compromises.”The National Rally's leader, Marine Le Pen, who lost to Macron in the presidential election, was reelected as MP in her stronghold of Hénin-Beaumont, in northern France.“The Macron adventure has reached its end,” Le Pen said. The group of National Rally lawmakers “will be by far the biggest of the history of our political family.”Acting National Rally president Jordan Bardella compared his party's showing to a “tsunami.” “Tonight's message is that the French people made from Emmanuel Macron a minority president,” he said on TF1 television.“It's the electoral failure of the ‘Macronie',” Mélenchon said, criticizing "a moral failure of those people who lectured everyone non-stop and said they would block the far-right, and the main result is that they reinforced it.Macron's government will still have the ability to rule, but only by bargaining with legislators. The centrists could try to negotiate on a case by case basis with lawmakers from the center-left and from the conservative party — with the goal of preventing opposition lawmakers from being numerous enough to reject the proposed measures.The government could also occasionally use a special measure provided by the French Constitution to adopt a law without a vote.Government spokesperson Olivia Grégoire said on France 2 television that “we've known better evenings.”“This is a disappointing top position, but still a top position," she said.“We are holding out a helping hand to all those who are OK to make that country move forward,” she said, notably referring to The Republicans party, which is expected to have less seats than the far-right.A similar situation happened in 1988 under Socialist President Francois Mitterrand, who then had to seek support from the Communists or the centrists to pass laws.These parliamentary elections have once again largely been defined by voter apathy — with over half the electorate staying home.Audrey Paillet, 19, who cast her ballot in Boussy-Saint-Antoine in southeastern Paris, was saddened that so few people turned out.“Some people have fought to vote. It is too bad that m...

By the fall of 1794, the Reign of Terror was ending.  France had turned anti-Jacobin.  The terror and tyranny offered by them was no longer seen as productive.  In 1795, the new French Constitution was adopted and the new government seated.  The new legislature was bi-cameral.  The executive functions of the nation to be run by a Directory.  The land war in Europe had once again turned in favor of France.  The English naval blockade, however, was working effectively.  Shortages began to appear. By 1973, the economic conditions in China had turned bad.  Poverty and famine were beginning to assert themselves.  The State planned economy, as well as the communist idea in China, was failing.   By 1974, shortages and deficiencies in medical care were obvious.  Disease spread.  Facilities that had existed to combat some of these diseases had long ago disappeared.  To help alleviate the medical care shortages, China encouraged the training and use of “barefoot doctors”.  Their lack of education, training, and experience, and in many cases incompetence, made conditions worse.

The French King and his family attempt to flee France but are quickly discovered and returned to Paris.  Concern for their safety led to the Declaration of Pillnitz in 1791.  It urged European powers to intervene in France on behalf of the beleaguered King and Royal Family.  The French took it as a declaration of war.  The summer of 1791, saw the Massacre of Champ de Mars in Paris.  In the fall of 1791, the National Assembly finally adopted and push out the first French Constitution. During this period of time political factions appear in the National Assembly.  Most notably, the Jacobins, a radical left group, begin their rise to power. By the end of 1968, China was at war with itself and the foreigners that inhabited China, and anyone associated with foreigners. Revolutionary Committees had replaced the Red Guards and the Culture Revolution Group.  More fear, mayhem, and death. Chairman Mao changes tact and orders that students and Red Guards be sent to the countryside for indoctrination and to gain control over the chaos.  The countryside movement did not get off to an auspicious start.  Before the countryside movement was over, tens of millions of students and their families would be permanently affected.

Guerrilla History- Intelligence Briefings will be roughly a twice monthly series of shorter, more informal discussions between the hosts about topics of their choice.  Patrons at the Comrade tier and above will have access to all Intelligence Briefings. This Intelligence Briefing will be an early-release episode for our patreon members, about the radical French Constitution of 1793, which was never implemented despite being ratified.  The guys discuss the historical context for this document, how it compares to US documents of the same period, and how it compares to the much more conservative French Constitution of 1795, which was implemented.  Here are links to read the French Constitutions of 1793 and 1795, in english: 1793- https://oll.libertyfund.org/page/1793-french-republic-constitution-of-1793  1795- https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Constitutions_and_Other_Select_Documents_Illustrative_of_the_History_of_France,_1789%E2%80%931907/50  Your hosts are immunobiologist Henry Hakamaki, Professor Adnan Husain, historian and Director of the School of Religion at Queens University, and Revolutionary Left Radio's Breht O'Shea.

The government of Wales pitches radical new concept to its farmers: paying them to help stop climate change, plus European Bison are no longer on the “endangered species list.” Who knew Europe had bison? America's Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) calls for domestic and international fiscal collaboration to help combat climate change. And French president Macron asks parliament to amend French Constitution to include fighting climate change.

In the first round of the French Presidential election, Centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron and far-right leader Marine Le Pen progressed to the runoff on 7 May, notwithstanding neither candidate having the backing of the traditionally powerful parliamentary parties.
