This September 28, a global action is carried out for the decriminalization of abortion, for which various feminist groups have called for various mobilizations that seek to reach the Plinth.
The march on September 28th takes place shortly after the plenary session of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) declared the criminalization of abortion unconstitutional; the criterion is now mandatory for all judges in the country.
Court declares it unconstitutional to penalize abortion
During the discussion of the unconstitutionality action presented by the defunct Attorney General of the Republic (PGR) Against the criminalization of abortion contained in the Penal Code of Coahuila, the 10 ministers present in yesterday’s session endorsed the proposal of Luis María Aguilar Morales to declare contrary to the Constitution to penalize women who abort voluntarily.

Consequently, article 196 of the Penal Code of Coahuila is eliminated, which establishes up to three years in prison for women who abort; 198, in the portion that prevented the woman from being assisted by health personnel when performing an abortion voluntarily, and 199, which criminalized abortion in the event of rape, insemination or artificial implantation.
The criterion of the Court that defends the right of women to decide on pregnancy will be mandatory for all judges in the country when they try to take women who abort for their decision to jail and, therefore, they will not go to court. jail.
This, despite the fact that local laws still consider voluntary abortion as a crime. Similarly, if women who are imprisoned for this reason seek to have their cases reviewed, they can invoke the criteria to try to be released.
