Landmark Ruling: Mexico's Supreme Court Legalizes Abortion Nationwide

Mexico's supreme court has decriminalized abortion across the country, following a previous ruling that decriminalized the procedure in one state. This decision comes as part of a broader trend in Latin America of loosening restrictions on abortion. The ruling means that no woman, pregnant person, or health worker can be punished for seeking or providing an abortion. The federal public health service and federal health institutions are now required to offer abortion services to anyone who requests it.
