    The fact that Mexico is making progress on this is good to see, though also pretty embarrassing as a resident of the USA that our society is moving backwards at the same time.

    In addition to being good policy, this is going to be a lifeline for women in border states. (and will I suspect be much harder to police or prosecute - it’s very, very difficult to hold somebody legally liable in one country for an act committed in another)

      Sounds about right. Republicans will gladly step in their own pile of garbage just to be able to point and laugh at the other guy they perceive as their enemy.

    Judges in states that still criminalize abortion will have to take account of the top court’s ruling.

    The court’s sweeping decision Wednesday comes amid a trend in Latin America of loosening restrictions on abortion, even as access has been limited in parts of the United States.

    Mexico City was the first Mexican jurisdiction to decriminalize abortion 15 years ago.

    The Information Group for Chosen Reproduction, known by its Spanish initials as GIRE, said the court decided that the portion of the federal penal code that criminalized abortion no longer has any effect.

    “No woman or pregnant person, nor any health worker will be able to be punished for abortion,” the non-governmental organization said in a statement.

    The court ordered that the crime of abortion be removed from the federal penal code.

    Back in 2021 the supreme court had already declared abortion as not a crime, but the sentenced, while settled a precedent, did not applied in the whole country. This new sentence applies in the whole country and also forces mexican healthcare public institutions to provide abortion to any person that requests it.
