On Tuesday, Sept 7, Mexico’s Supreme Court set a precedent that could lead to the legalization of abortion procedures in this predominantly Catholic country. The court made a unanimous ruling that penalizing abortions is unconstitutional, thus decriminalizing abortion procedures across the country.
ADVERTISEMENT However, the ruling only sets a precedent, meaning that judges in each state will no longer be able to prosecute any person who terminates their unborn child without violating the determination made by the court, and without violating the constitution.
The ruling will, however, benefit millions of people, making Mexico the most populous Latin American country to legalize abortion. While the decision was welcomed by feminist activists, it wasn’t so joyfully accepted by everyone—some conservative politicians and the Catholic Church were less than pleased.
