Mexico supreme court decriminalizes abortion across country
Decision to remove abortion from federal penal code comes amid trend in Latin America of loosening restrictions on procedure
Mexico’s supreme court has decriminalized abortion across the country, two years after ruling that abortion was not a crime in one northern state.
That earlier ruling had set off a grinding process of decriminalizing abortion state by state. Last week, the central state of Aguascalientes became the 12th state to decriminalize the procedure. Judges in states that still criminalize abortion will have to take account of the top court’s ruling.
The supreme court wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that it had decided that “the legal system that criminalized abortion in the Federal Penal Code is unconstitutional, [because] it violates the human rights of women and people with the ability to gestate.”

Fuck I should've learned Spanish
Lo siento pinch
See, I don't know if I should be saying thank you or fuck you right now
I’m an ass so I’ll take any sort of Comms right now :)
I should have taken my Spanish class more seriously, too.
That always was a great example of the education system was failing in the U.S. So many people I know spending 1-3 years of school having to take a foreign language, yet most of them didn't learn the language to a degree that was usable anywhere. We never took it seriously and no one made us. If a person tries to learn a language over the course of school year and has 20+ others in that class also trying to learn the same language, it should have been easy to learn. We had people to practice with.
