«Elles sont 300 000 chaque année» is the volume of speeches by Simone Veil and Lucien Neuwirth, published by Points in paperback (64 pages, in French).
The book brings together two parliamentary interventions decisive for women's rights in France. Simone Veil's speech before the National Assembly, delivered on 26 November 1974, defends the decriminalisation of abortion before a largely hostile chamber. It is followed by «Accéder à la maternité volontaire», Lucien Neuwirth's speech of 1 July 1967 in favour of contraception.
The volume was published on 27 August 2009 and belongs to the Points documents collection (number 2246). The text is entirely in French.
Aimed at readers interested in the political and social history of France, feminism and the great parliamentary speeches of the twentieth century.
Simone Veil was a French magistrate, Holocaust survivor and politician. Deported as a teenager to Auschwitz-Birkenau and later Bergen-Belsen, she became a prominent advocate for human dignity and European reconciliation. As minister of health, she championed women's rights and is best remembered for the landmark 1975 law legalising abortion, known as the Veil Act.
