REGINA: What do you think the future of the pro-life movement is
in France?
BENJAMIN: The future of the movement does not seem to be in danger. Participation has almost doubled since 2014, which was already a record compared to the preceeding 2012 figure. The average age is becoming increasingly younger, so the movement is not slowing down. In addition, the government is more and more frequently attacking life, so the reasons to march are multiplying.
REGINA: How is the government ‘attacking’…?
BENJAMIN: A new law was passed to forbid pro-life discussion. The existence of such a law in a totalitarian system like what France has become, is the proof that these efforts are affecting change and garnering more attention.
