The Last Days Of Ukranazistan XCVIII

VN Alexander You may recall that, during the thick of it in 2020-2021, Covidians were immune—no, that’s not the right metaphor—they were allergic to facts. They did not respond well even to the common sense statement that, since the C0Vld-19 shots hadn’t been through long-term trials, it might be unwise to take one. Like terrorized lab animals […]

Mexico’s top court has ruled that criminalizing abortions in the Federal Penal Code is unconstitutional and has removed penalties for the practice nationwide. Women’s groups across the country have hailed the decision as a landmark moment.

The judgment, which the Supreme Court issued on Wednesday, comes two years after the same court ruled against abortion restrictions in the northern state of Coahuila, which has since prompted several Mexican states and local governments to begin revising their penal codes.

Mexico will soon have a woman leading every branch of government

The federal decriminalization of abortion will mean that national health institutions will now be obligated to provide such services and will not be punished for the practice, reproductive rights group GIRE, which initiated the case, has said.

At the same time, some state-level restrictions on abortion still exist in approximately 20 Mexican states.

The Supreme Court explained in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that laws that prevented and punished abortions had violated the human rights of women and “people with the capacity to gestate.”

“In cases of rape, no girl can be forced to become a mother – neither by the state nor by her parents nor her guardians,” said Arturo Zaldivar, the head of the Supreme Court.

“Here, the violation of her rights is more serious, not only because of her status as a victim, but also because of her age, which makes it necessary to analyze the issue from the perspective of the best interests of minors,” he added.

GIRE has hailed the ruling as a victory for its cause, stating that “no woman or pregnant person, nor any health worker, will be able to be punished for abortion.”

In a comment to the AFP news agency, women’s rights activist Sara Lovera noted that while some parts of the country, such as Mexico City, have long decriminalized abortions, “many women don’t know they have this right” due to a lack of facilities or publicity campaigns promoting the procedure.

“That’s why today’s decision of the Supreme Court is important,” Lovera said.

At the same time, Mexico’s pro-life movements have said they will continue to battle expanded abortion access. Irma Barrientos, the director of the Civil Association for the Rights of the Conceived, said her group is “not going to stop.”

“Let’s remember what happened in the United States,” she said. “After 40 years, the Supreme Court reversed its abortion decision, and we’re not going to stop until Mexico guarantees the right to life from the moment of conception.”

CIUDAD DE MÉXICO — 

Buenas noticias para las Mujeres Mexicanas, ¡el derecho a elegir!. y la próxima presidenta puede ser Claudia Sheinbaum

La Suprema Corte de Justicia de México despenalizó el miércoles el aborto en todo el país

Es una decisión histórica que impedirá que cualquier mujer vaya a la cárcel por interrumpir su embarazo.

Las protestas en Latinoamérica a favor del aborto

Los ministros de la Corte aprobaron por unanimidad un amparo promovido por una organización civil que anula el apartado del Código Penal Federal que criminalizaba el aborto.

El máximo tribunal dijo en su cuenta de la red social X que resolvió que “es inconstitucional el sistema jurídico que penaliza el aborto en el Código Penal Federal, ya que viola los derechos humanos de las mujeres y personas con capacidad de gestar”.

La acción fue presentada por el Grupo de Información en Reproducción Elegida (GIRE) que indicó también en su cuenta de X que gracias a esa decisión se podrá acceder a los servicios de aborto en todos los centros de salud estatales de México.

Hace dos años, la Suprema Corte de Justicia había anulado varios artículos de una ley del estado norteño de Coahuila en los que se consideraba delito abortar y se criminaliza tanto a las mujeres como al personal que pudiera ayudarlas, lo que representó un gran avance en la lucha de las mexicanas por descriminalizar el aborto.

La semana pasada un nuevo estado mexicano, Aguascalientes, se incorporaba a la lista de entidades en despenalizar el aborto, también por un pronunciamiento de la Suprema Corte. Eran 12 de 22..

La decisión llega en medio de una tendencia en América Latina en general en avanzar a favor del aborto pero cuando varios estados de Estados Unidos caminan justo en sentido contrario, aumentando las restricciones.

El primer estado mexicano en despenalizar y legislar sobre el derecho al aborto fue Ciudad de México hace 15 años. Le siguió Oaxaca en 2019. A partir de 2021, el goteo de cambios legales ha sido continuo y actualmente también está despenalizado en Veracruz, Hidalgo, Baja California, Colima, Sinaloa, Guerrero, Baja California Sur y Quintana Roo.

No obstante, en un país donde la Iglesia Católica tiene importante influencia todavía en muchos lugares donde se despenalizó existen problemas para poder acceder a un aborto.

Arundhati Roy: ‘Biden, Macron know what’s going on in India but won’t talk’

From her New Delhi home, the acclaimed Indian writer and activist talks about the G20 summit and the state of India’s minorities.

India is preparing hosting world leaders at a Group of 20 (G20) summit this weekend in what is being described as a crucial moment for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to cement his place as a global leader.

New Delhi has gone under a massive – and controversial – “beautification drive” for the event, with many slums bulldozed and their occupants displaced.

Modi’s lesson from Israel: Demolish Muslim homes, erase their history

Newly-painted lotus flower murals – the election symbol of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) – have appeared and billboards with Modi’s face line the reworked roads.

“You’d be forgiven for thinking it was the BJP that was hosting this event, not the government of India,” acclaimed author and activist Arundhati Roy told Al Jazeera.

Roy, 61, is a vocal critic of the Indian government’s treatment of minorities – mainly its 200 million Muslims – and other rights violations since Modi came to power in 2014.

From her home in New Delhi, she spoke to Al Jazeera about the G20 event and the state of India’s minorities.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping are not attending.

Al Jazeera: What is your opinion of India, in the context of its treatment of minorities, hosting the G20 summit?

Arundhati Roy: Look, I don’t think anybody really cares about that because… the G20 is here, everybody is looking for an opportunity, a trade deal or a military equipment deal or a geopolitical strategic understanding. So it’s not as if any single one of the people who are coming here, the heads of state or anyone else doesn’t know exactly what’s going on in India.

In countries like the US and the UK and France, the mainstream media has been so critical of what’s happening in India, but the governments have a different agenda altogether. So I don’t think one needs to be naive enough to believe that that is an issue at all for the people coming here.

Al Jazeera: Do you see the G20 being held in India as an opportunity for leaders ..?

“I can see the homeless on the streets, … and now the homeless are not allowed to live on the streets either,” says Rekha Devi, whose home was demolished as part of the makeover. She said authorities refused to consider documents she showed as proof that her family had lived in the same house for nearly 100 years.

Roy: It won’t. None of them will. I have no such expectation. But I think what’s interesting is that if you were in Delhi, as I am now, if you look at the publicity, if you look at the banners, if you look at all the preparations that are being made for the G20, you would be forgiven for imagining that it wasn’t the government of India that is hosting the G20, but the BJP. Every single banner has a huge lotus on it, which is the symbol of a political party. Modi’s BJP.
