A fierce advocate for women’s reproductive rights and an esteemed researcher in steroid hormones, Baulieu made profound contributions to science and society. His work enabled non-surgical abortions and sparked global debates on medicine, morality, and freedom of choice.

His invention of mifepristone revolutionized abortion access worldwide and remains a focal point in ongoing legal and political battles over reproductive rights.
