.julito77: The era of the U.S. proclaiming itself as a champion for women is over.
Women and their allies who will now be fighting to codify Roe in the U.S. need to look at recent events in Latin America to see how the struggle has always been bigger than any one country, any one congress or any one court.
“Unlike in the past, when the contagion of ideas went from North to South, the new order of moral connection is multidirectional,” reproductive rights organization Fòs Feminista’s CEO, Giselle Carino, said this year in. “It goes from the South to the South, from the South to the North — that is to say, in multiple directions.
, advocates from both sides of the border were meeting to “develop strategies to circumvent new restrictions and find ways to coordinate assistance for women who want to safely end their pregnancies, including getting abortion pills to women in the U.S.” Such strategies, and given how intense the abortion debate has become in this country, there will likely be an increasing desire to make stronger connections.
The legal precedent that led to Mexico’s decriminalization occurred in the neighboring state of Coahuila, and while the decriminalization push is indeed a victory,. But it is significant that no judge in Mexico can convict a woman for having an abortion once it’s brought to the Supreme Court. So even for those who live in a state that still criminalizes abortion, the national court would override local state control in abortion-related cases.
Before September’s court ruling, only four of Mexico’s 32 states had decriminalized abortion, and there has been significant opposition to the ruling. However, advocates who want Mexicans to have access to safe abortion services have a historic court ruling behind them to help them achieve that goal.In contrast, close to half of the U.S. will ban abortions in all circumstances if Roe is overturned.
