The streets of cities across Latin American were bathed in green as tens of thousands of women marched to commemorate International Safe Abortion Day
The streets of cities across Latin American cities were bathed in green Thursday as tens of thousands of women marched to commemorate International Safe Abortion Day.
In Mexico, marchers celebrated the recent decision by Mexico’s Supreme Court to decriminalize abortions at the federal level. In Argentina, marchers had a more somber tone, worrying that the strength of a populist far-right presidential candidate going into elections in October could signal peril after years of work by feminists.
The march came just weeks after Mexico’s Supreme Court knocked down all federal criminal penalties for abortion, ruling that national laws prohibiting the procedure are unconstitutional and violate women’s rights. The move will also require federal health institutions to offer abortion to anyone who requests it.
