Could someone familiar with France provide context here?

Suppose the amendment passes. Does France have a strong judicial system that could prevent implementation of an anti-abortion law, if the law had strong support among French voters?
Just reading Wikipedia, it appears that amending the French constitution is easier than in America. In America, you need 2/3 of both houses of Congress, plus 3/4 of the state legislatures to pass an amendment. In France you would need is a simple majority in both house of Parliament, followed by a simple majority in public referenda. Is there anything to stop a future Parliament from re-amending the constitution voters turned against abortion rights?
As of 2023, support for abortion rights is strong in France. It's possible that in the future, public opinion will turn on abortion. So it can make sense, from an abortion rights perspective, to limit the ability of future Parliaments to restrict abortion.But is this idea, that future democracies will not always respect our rights, a popular one in France? In America, we intentionally limited the scope of democracy through things like "Congress shall make no law" amendments. Does France also have an intellectual tradition of distrusting democracy?

I guess what I'm asking is, this the kind of thing that could protect abortion for hundreds of years, the way the American second amendment has protected gun rights for hundreds of years? Or is it more of a symbolic victory, that could easily be overturned if the political winds change? >

I've lived in Paris for 17 years.

Yes there is a strong judicial system, in particular the Conseil Constitutionnel has rejected quite a few laws that were judged to be contrary to the Constitution.
If 2/3 of the Assemblee and Senat agree, nothing stops the Constitution from being re-amended. The Constitution of France is a little more flexible (there have been 24 amendments since 1958) but that has usually been a good thing.
Support for limiting future regimes is not a popular idea, as there is a strong support for progress in France, and that is supposed to be done through democracy. Liberty is a fundamental concept in French culture but is quite different from American freedom. Rather than stressing individual and economic freedoms, it stresses a sort of collective freedom centered around a strong and transparent representative democracy.

I don't think it makes much sense for the public opinion to turn against abortion in France but conceptually it could happen. If so, I trust the people to know what they're doing. French people aren't easily swayed against progress (without ever rejecting tradition), although security is a very strong subject that got the Front National close to the Presidency (but far from the Parliament) 3 times in 21 years. >

Can we get that in the U.S., too?
Edit: Who got offended by this question? >

Only if you donate to your area's democratic nominee and vote blue really hard! One of these days we could get a majority in the House and Senate and have a Democrat president, and it still won't fucking happen.
