Legal grounds for abortion in Mexico

Legal grounds for abortion in Mexico

In Mexico, abortion is regulated by the Penal Codes of each state. Contrary to what is generally thought, abortion is a legal health service in the country and is decriminalized under certain situations or conditions, depending on the state of the Mexican Republic in which the termination of pregnancy is performed, so that people who have abortions and those who assist them in these cases cannot be punished for it.
