#Mexico : Mexican Supreme Court rules criminalization of #abortion in Federal Penal Code unconstitutional

— "In a brief post on X (formerly Twitter), the Mexican Supreme Court announced Wednesday that in response to a legal challenge it has ruled that the articles criminalizing abortion in the Federal Penal Code are unconstitutional.

The court’s First Chamber “ruled that the legal system that penalizes abortion in the Federal Criminal Code is unconstitutional, since it "violates the human rights of women and persons with the capacity to gestate.”

The court itself cannot decriminalize abortion.
The Federal Congress will have to comply and make the changes in the articles in question."
