First Trimester Abortion In Mexico Now Legal In All Circumstances

[OpEd News]With an 8 (for) to 3 (against) vote in Mexico’s Supreme Court, the April 24, 2007 law making abortion legal in Mexico, under any circumstance during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy, is now deemed constitutional.  On Thursday, August 28, 2008, eight justices agreed that the case of unconstitutionality brought before the Court by the National Attorney General’s Office and the National Human Rights Commission against the new law was without basis.
