The Mexican Supreme Court Removes Criminal Penalities for Abortion Nationwide

The Supreme Court of Mexico has decriminalised abortion nationwide, extending its legality to all 32 states. In a historic ruling, the Supreme Court declared that restricting access to abortion infringes upon women’s fundamental human rights, particularly in situations involving sexual assault. This judgment paves the way for the federal healthcare system to provide abortion services. Women’s advocacy organisations have enthusiastically embraced this momentous development.
