The wide-ranging bioethics law, presented by French President Emmanuel Macron's government, was approved by the National Assembly in a 326-115 vote.
The measure had been much awaited by LGBTQ+ rights groups, who had pushed for the reproduction measure since France legalized same-sex marriage in 2013.
The new law will expand access to fertility treatments such as artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization (IVF), currently reserved only for infertile heterosexual couples.
