One reproductive rights organizer called the historic decision in Mexico 'an enormous step toward legalization in the entire country.'
Mexico's high court found that a law in the northern state of Coahuila punishing women who have abortions with three years' imprisonment violates the nation's constitution. Women jailed for undergoing the procedure may now be freed following the decision.
"Today is a historic day for the rights of all Mexican women," Supreme Court Chief Justice Arturo Zaldivar said after the ruling was announced. "It is a watershed in the history of the rights of all women, especially the most vulnerable.
"The pregnant person is criminalized, without it being constitutionally defined if life is invariably protected from conception, and what is the treatment of the embryo in the legal world," she added. ;�lebramos la decisi;ón de las y los ministros de la \n@SCJN de declarar inconstitucional la penalizaci;ón del aborto en #M;éxico.
