French state to reimburse abortions by 100%
http://www.france24.com/en/20121003-french-france-state-social-security-reimburse-abortions-100-percent-hospitals-women
Women seeking abortions in France will now have the whole cost covered by the country's social security system under reforms announced by the French government on Monday.
The French social security system is to reimburse abortion costs at 100%, under reforms announced on Monday.
At present French women can only claim back between 70 and 80% for the operation, which can cost up to 450 euros.
The change to full reimbursement, which is designed to improve women’s access to abortion, was included in the 2013 social security budget.
