Mexico’s Supreme Court ruled on September 7th that the ban on abortion in the country is unconstitutional. According to the New York Times<\/a>, the ruling only “applies immediately only to the northern state of Coahuila, where the justices said that a law mandating up to three years in jail for people who get abortions was unconstitutional. Their ruling set a legal precedent for the nation \u2014 but putting it into practice requires either legal challenges in each of the 28 states in Mexico that still criminalize the procedure, or a change in law by state legislatures.” Mexico will join Argentina in expanding reproductive rights, whose senate\u00a0voted to legalize abortion<\/a>\u00a0late last year, and WLRN out of Florida\u00a0has an article<\/a>\u00a0comparing Mexico’s historic ruling to the newest restrictive legislation in Texas.<\/p>\n

But the region still has a long way to go in securing reproductive rights. The Center for Reproductive Rights has a section on their LAC programs,\u00a0found here<\/a>. The Dialogue has a piece from February looking at the impact of Argentina’s historic ruling on the future of reproductive rights in the region,\u00a0found here<\/a>. And the BBC has a piece about how reproductive rights are affected by socioeconomic factors,\u00a0found here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
