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.”
Meanwhile in America red state boarder towns (boarder to blue or another country.) are making laws to stop every women traveling towards an abortion state.

That's right, straight up Handmaid's Tale shit!
"Under his eye."
Good for Mexico, that's awesome! Too bad the U.S. is such a fucking backwards excuse of a country.
Just call it twitter. Lonnie doesn't respect name changes for Trans people. Don't respect his company's name change.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
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.”
The court’s sweeping decision on 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.
GIRE, a reproductive rights organization based in Mexico City, said the court decided that the portion of the federal penal code that criminalized abortion no longer has any effect.
Across Latin America, countries have made moves to lift abortion restrictions in recent years, often referred to as a “green wave”.
After decades of work by feminist activists across the region, the wave picked up speed in Argentina, which in 2020 legalized the procedure.
Many organizers worry, however, that the lifting of restrictions may not translate to expanded access in highly conservative and religious countries.

Mexico to reap millions on US abortion tourists.
All the ignorant [American] ass wipes that bemoan and slander Mexico: They're more progressive than the USA. I know that scares the republican snowflakes. I'm glad women's rights matter more in some areas. It should have always been about all human rights, but I'll stop being nieve now.
