Mexico’s Quintana Roo state decriminalises abortionThe move comes about a year after Mexico’s Supreme Court ruled that penalising abortion was unconstitutional.The Mexican state of Quintana Roo has voted to decriminalise abortion, becoming the latest area to ease restrictions on the procedure as part of a “green wave” demanding greater reproductive rights across Latin America.Nineteen lawmakers on Wednesday voted in favour with three against, approving a change in the law that would decriminalise abortion for women up to 12 weeks pregnant and remove a requirement for rape victims to report their abuser to access abortion.The early morning vote in Quintana Roo also came amid a wave of abortion rights victories in Latin America, including in Argentina, which in late 2020 legalised elective abortions until the 14th week of pregnancy.Back in Mexico’s Quintana Roo, Deputy Cinthya Millan, who opposed the abortion reform, said the session’s early morning schedule meant some voices had not been heard."
