"Landmark Ruling: Mexico's Supreme Court Legalizes Nationwide Abortion"

Mexico's Supreme Court has ruled that abortion is not a crime, effectively decriminalizing it nationwide. The court's decision means that no woman, pregnant person, or health worker can be punished for seeking or providing an abortion. Additionally, federal public health services and institutions are now required to offer abortion services to anyone who requests them. This ruling comes after years of fighting for abortion rights in Mexico, with the process of decriminalization happening state by state. Other countries in the region, such as Argentina and Colombia, have also recently lifted abortion restrictions. In contrast, the United States has seen a heightened battle over abortion access since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, giving states the power to regulate access to the procedure.
