"Texas Abortion Advocates Rejoice as Mexico Decriminalizes"

The Mexican Supreme Court has decriminalized abortion, removing it from the federal penal code and requiring public health services to provide pregnancy interruption upon request. This landmark decision is seen as a turning point in the defense of reproductive justice and follows similar moves in other Latin American countries. Abortion rights activists in Texas, where constitutional protections on abortion have been stripped, celebrated the ruling as a step towards granting autonomy over their lives and bodies. However, anti-abortion activists in Texas are attempting to impede access to abortion by declaring it illegal to "aid and abet abortion traffickers."
