Mexico Decriminalizes Abortion!

On September 7th, Mexico’s Supreme Court ruled that a statute requiring a 3-year prison sentence for women who get abortions was unconstitutional. The ruling marks a new precedent for the Mexican legal system and is binding upon other states which have not yet legalized abortion. Women’s rights activists in Mexico called the ruling a “watershed moment.” While this does mean that abortion is decriminalized, it is not yet fully legal in Mexico, and access to care remains a major issue. With nearly 100 million practicing Catholics, there was a great deal of backlash from the religious community. The National Action Party, an ultra-right-wing political party, condemns the court’s decision claiming they will defend “life from the moment of conception until natural death.”
