Conservative protesters opposed to same-sex marriage demonstrate against IVF for single women and lesbians in Paris in 2014.

President Emmanuel Macron pledged during his 2017 election campaign to push the law despite deep resistance among right-wing opponents as well as conservative Roman Catholics and other religious groups. Many women have instead been forced to go abroad for such treatments, and French courts had refused to recognise the second mother’s maternity rights in the case of same-sex couples.

If approved, the law would bring French legislation in line with other European nations including Britain, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Ireland, Belgium and Scandinavian countries, which authorise medically-assisted procreation for all women.Opponents say the law deprives children of a necessary paternal figure and threatens a traditional family structure, and would open the door to legalising surrogacy, including for gay men.

Her group and others say they have distributed some three million flyers against the law in recent weeks.
